Min tank size for one male red terror? How about a pair?

 

[REDKID!!!]

100 male
125 pair(keep divider close)

150 would be better suited for a male, 200 for a pair

males can get over 25 inches

 

[REDKID!!!]

thats what can happen but rarley most likley 16"

 

[JESTERX626]

How long would it take to reach 15-16 inches? It'd be a waste in the beginning if I was to put a 2-5 inch fish in a 100+ gal tank.

i thought they only got 12 inches but i guess i read wrong.I think a 75 or 90 would be good for a single specimen,and 125 for 2.since most 125 gallon tanks are 6 feet long.

The biggest you can afford. Its gonna be easier to put ina 6x2x2 once than to start with a 55 then move upto to a 75/100 then need to move things again to a 150. Ok so its gonna look a bit sparce to start with but youd be giving them the best start from day 1.

They'll grow fast in that much water to..

Realistically the male will get 18" or so. I say 125 for male and 200 range for pair.

To properly house A Red Terror 125 for 1 and 200+ for two bottom line...
