What size tank would be good enough to keep a single leichardti in? Its still very small under a foot. I have a 250 gallon, 8L 2.5 H 1.5Wide, but im not sure if 1.5 is wide enough to keep a leichardti in? Should i shoot for something 2' wide and maybe only 7 long or 6 long? Also 400$ for a 240 gallon acrylic 8L 2H 2W is a good deal right?

general rule of thumb for arowanas is to try for 8 foot by 3 foot at least. but minimum size can be about 6 foot by 2.5 foot. dont go smaller...

In the real world? Look at Steve's Leichardti it's 30"+. IMO you need a tank minimum of 3 ft wide.
the reality is that if he buys a 180 then hed probably have to uy another tank in the distant future. arowanas dont grow as fast as other fish. it shud be fine for about 2-3 years in a 180. especially if he buys a baby.

Easy tiga... If you noticed Steve's lei is in a pond.
Here is a quick question for ya. Other than Steve's I have never heard of any Lei close to 30" that has lived in a tank from day 1?
Most people do not have the room for such a large tank, or mutiple tanks. Should they not keep such a fish? Hell no!!
They should get the fish they are interested in keeping and keep up water quality and have a large healthy fish.
On the other hand there are people that have no common sense when it comes to money
and have more than enough room to keep monster tanks but thats another story.
