Saratoga Leichardti tank size

[Hello fish keppees]

Hey I’m getting a new tank that is 6x3x2.5 and I’m wondering if I can put a Saratoga leichardti in it? Any help would be good thank you.

It would be temporary grow out, until the Saratoga hit close to 36", then need to be moved to something much larger.

Ok. I can get a larger tank but can only fit a 7ft is that a good size tank I can keep one in long term?

A 7 foot tank for an active and territorial 36" fish is not an acceptable tank long term, no.

Fair enough. Any other fish you recommend for a 6x3x2.5 tank that are relatively big fish like oscars?

African butterfly fish are arowana cousins but only 5 inches.
Otherwise in a tank that size you may find wolf fish interesting. Hoplias curupira or malabaricus are large, interactive, and predatory.
Dovii also can live in a tank that size, bigger and meaner than oscars.
Giant gourami is also an option.

Thanks, if I can find a giant gourami around my area might have to pick it up.
