One of my friends is wanting to get rid of his smb and offered it to me. I think I might take it I just want to make sure I have enough tank space. I have a 150 gallon tank that is 72" long x 18" wide x 29" tall. Would this tank be big enough for it for life? I really want this fish but I wanted to make sure I could keep it befor I got it.
 
A smallmouth will get larger than 18", but it will take awhile.

No help on the SMB, but you don't see many posts like these. (responsible before the fact) :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Yeah, you can probably house it in that tank for life, but SMB can get bigger than that.
 
obviously depends on how much you are feeding the
i had a smallmouth years ago in my 200g after 3 years it was still around 14 inches

Well, Right now the tank is filled up with shiners, bluntnose minnows, brook silversides, johnny darters, log perch, a white sucker, a big common black pleco, and I think that's it. So no bass for the tank right now. Maybe next spring I'll get a bass.
