What is the minimum tank size for an Aba Aba. I have a 5ft x 3ft x2ft. Will it be ok?
 
That should work for 1-2 years. Some do not ever get huge and it may be ok for life. Make sure the tank stays fairly dark and is very well filtered.

I'am planning to get the aba aba after I sell my Vatf. I hate myself for buying it but can't provide the right size. Must sell to a good owner.

I've had one for a year now and it seems their growth slows after 18 inches. I think you will be fine with the tank your thinking about using. FYI: My Aba likes to redecorate the tank. If you have a glass tank I would not use large rocks for decoration!

I only plan to use driftwood and no more. :D
 
5x3x2 sounds about right. If you find one let me know! I've been looking and I can't find one anywhere there really cool fish.

My uncle sells a lot. 6 inches. My first aba aba died when I wasn't home. Now is the time to restart. :D Can't give up
