For awhile, eventually though you'll need to go with a larger tank.

yeah they grow real slow so u should be able to keep them in there for a long time but not for life

I'd go with something smaller that you can house in there for life

For sure not life, but a good 2 years.
My old male took about 2 years to hit 13".

I would get some Grammodes,Salvanis,or JDs for the 75g

will work until the Male gets too agressive.hard to say how long cause individuals vary so much in temperment.I tried my pair in a 75(they had been togather for a yr.)and the male was too rough on her so I had to put them back in my 135.They are 9" & 6"
