I'm thinking about getting a pair of Lents, and was wondering if they would be alright in a 150 gallon tank? Or if that is just a bit too small for a large pair.

Thanks guys.
 
My lents are in a 210 gallon with four tankmates and I definitely wouldn't go smaller. I like the extra 6" width of my 210 over my 150 (both are 6' tanks, but the 210 is 24" wide whereas my 150 is only 18" wide).

I was having some aggression problems, but now that I have them set up on one end of the tank with a bunch of driftwood to call their home, they mostly leave everyone else alone. I see them lip-locking and chasing a few fish occasionally, but there's been no serious damage.

I think both of mine are boys.
 
Mine are in a 450 gallon and it seems to be big enough. All depends on your tankmates! They help to keep the aggression down.
