Does anyone know the minuimum tank size for a Frogfish that grows to 15cm/6inches?

I'm thinking of having him in a tank of his own
Thanks

Minimally, 30-40g. A 6" predator will put out a lot if bioload. On the other hand, it is sedentary, so it won't need to eat more than 2x/week.

Hey PP been a while since I was thinking of getting a Frogfish.
Can you please tell me how much LR I would need for a frogfish on his own in a 55g tank.
Thanks again

Not sure which is which, I've read some grow to 12 inches and others 6 inches
I'll probably be looking at getting the 6inch version
