Care: Despite other reports to the contrary, this species requires brackish water for good health. Introduce to a fully cycled aquarium, and maintain and a low-to-medium salinity. Strong filtration is recommended. A tank size of 15 gallons for one Figure 8.

Depending on the size you can, as long as its the only inhabitant. make sure if you do its over filtered. I have mine in a ten gallon now b/c hes less than 2 inches, but i plan on upgrading to a larger setup in the fall. just keep up routine weekly water changes and you'll be fine.

I'm sure it would appreciate more swimming room. My love swimming all over his 29g tank.

Mine seems less happy than he could be in his 15, not that he's unhappy, but he does pace more than when he was in the 29 and, 45 even though both were similar in bioload. I'm going to keep my eye out for a craigslist 30 gallon sometime, I'd have him in the 45 alone, but it's just too big for the bedroom. The 30 is a low tank, and I have a stand, lighting etc that would happily fit.
