just bought the sale fin last week and the trig last night looked up the fish profiles on live aqueria and the site said that the sailfin gets up to 3foot and the trig gets up to 10 inc im looking for people with experiance on how large these fish actualy get cause i have the chance to get a 220 gal tank for 100 bucks. probly gona get it any way but wanted to know if these will be able to live out thier lives in a 55 or not. thank you.
 
i would get the tank but more than likely they won't get that big. google both fish and over time you should find a general concensus

ive seen sailfins spread fins out to the size of a basketball. Picassos will get 10 inch no problem too... you will need that 200+

Make sure your new tank is atleast 2ft wide..... you might need more than that with the sailfin and a trigger, aggression could break out. Though since they are young you shouldnt see any problems, but triggers are known to turn at any moment, space prevents that.... go for the 300-400 range.... then settle with the parents for a 265 :D
