it is said they only get to about 18 inches.

i would say around 200gal min.
 
okay so about 2 feet wide
 
okay well i was thinking of him growing it up and me taking it off his hands to put in my 150 when iy got too big for the 55.
P.S. the 150 is 18" wide would that work???

Is yours still on feeders?? If not, how did you do it

nope i never fed it feeders, it arrived in good condition so i just put chopped whitebait in the tank for the other fish and after 1 week it started to take it.
i was lucky i guess.
 
i was thinking about the max size of a tat, and realized that 18 inches is the same size that my armatus is now.

it seems small, i would bet they will get bigger.
