Wanting to know because I have limited space and funds. What are the smallest dimensions I can keep a single flowerhorn width and lenth-wise?

Short body - 29 gal standard.
Big head small body - 40 gal breeder.
Regular full size body - 50 gal tall or 75 gal standard.

And as always, the bigger the better.

55 minimum a 75 would be better.

would a 55 gal high be ok?

no width/depth (front to back) is important

You want a tank at least 12 inches wide by 48 inches long, and even then the FH will probably outgrow the tank.

unless its a female zzish strain i'd think, as they get smaller. Big ol boy wants a 125 or better
