Recommended Tanksize for Adult Senegal

[spitz006]

According to aqadvisor they're fine in a 30.. but that seems cruel to me. (Although I've never actually seen what an adult looks like... even on video...) Mine is about 4 inches right now in a 40 breeder and I plan on putting him in a 75 or a 125 in a few months. What do you all keep your adult senegals in and does anyone have any pics or videos?

I'm sure a 75 or 125 will be fine.

Well yeah I know a 125 would be fine.. would a 75 be cruel? Would a 40 Breeder be cruel?

55 is fine IMO, most cb sens these days rarely pass 10"

You can even keep a 4 inch fish in a 40g for quite some time. He's only 4 inches for the time being.

40 breeder would be sufficient for senegals, 75g for the other upper jaw species

A 40 breeder is fine for life. You can consider yourself very lucky if you manage to get a captive bred senegal to more than 12", anyway.
