Shovel Nose Cat

[Chad55]

How big of a tank would you need to keep a fullgrown shovel nose. Not a tiger shovel nose just a regular one. I love them and would really like to keep one.
Thank you

you mean a lima shovelnose? 125g would do.

Thank you guys I was hoping it wouldnt need like a 500 gal tank tough. I know that might be an exageration for a 2 foot fish but you never know.
