what is the minimum tank size for a peacock bass?

[aquascaper93]

i have always wanted one since i first seen them and i was wandering what anyone would say the minimum tank size for one should be

Id say around 200g

Well in a fish tank they will usually hit anywhere from 17-24 inches. The bigger the tank the better chance u have of them hitting their max size...

Depends on the species. You could get away with a C. kelberi in a tank as small as 75 gallons, whereas a C. temensis might eventually grow to require a tank around 500 or 600 gallons +, considering their massive adult size and bulk.

Seems you can just throw what ever you like into a 75g. Just make sure you call it a grow out tank
