Whats the minimum Monster tank in your opinion?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Talking about monster tanks, I have always thought the inhabitants made the tank. If one can call aggressive fish monsters, than how can a 30 gallon tank containing vicious fish like dwarf snakeheads not be a monster tank?
 
I always look at the width of a tank to determine how "monster" capable it is. For me a 4x2x2 is the smallest "monster" tank as it's the smallest ideal tank to raise many of the fish we consider monsters. Width is far more important than depth or length imo until you're talking multiple fish in one tank. That being said a typical 75 at 18" wide is fine for some smaller monsters. To each his (or her) own! Enjoy what you can afford!
 
Its definitely perspective. And there are monster tanks, and monster fish... and not all monster fish need to be huge IMO... perhaps just huge for their species.

I'm proud of some giant danios that I have.. they're definitely huge for their kind... at least 5 to 6 inches...so.. its a Monster!

For tanks... 240+

I just picked up a 90g. It had to be custom ordered from the lfs. Nobody in my area carries much anything bigger than a 55g.

90g isn't massive, but it looks huge in a tiny apartment, and considering that like 4 years ago I bought my first tank a 5.5g, I think im on the right track lol

im throwing african cichlids in it. Not true monster fish, but hard to argue their badassery when theres a large crowd of them in there bouncing around like newyork city street traffic.

That being said I have my eyes on a 210g. I feel thats truly monster.

It all depends how much your wife freaks out I guess

The first should imply the second though. If not you're an irresponsiblefishkeeper.

Agreed. my biggest tank a 180, oscars, I do not think myself a monster fish keeper. I have jags, JD in other tanks. a dovii tank, 350G for cichlids ya. large ray tanks, ya, 180 with oscars no, that`s a semi large cichlid tank.
 
I say a 3ft 300g is low end monster tank. Anything less than 300g is an easy find and easy to get in the door
