I don't know then, maybe more like 300 - 500. That's a big fishy.

Ya Id say very min is 120(better foot print then a 125 imho), cause at that size thats no different then a Fahaka. Even though Im wanting to step up to a 180 for Bloat

nope. I saw them online and was just wondering about their minimum tank size because live aquaria often gets that wrong.

Arothron immaculatus should not be kept in anything less than a 180 IMO. Many recommend 150, though I feel that more width than is provided in a 150 for overall turning radius is beneficial. I wouldn't go with anything less than a 150, however. Good luck.
