Realistic size for my Fahaka

Post by Spitfire »

Hi.

Well he is now up to 8 inches. He lives with 2 Danios (don't ask)....OK Then. We just could not catch them as they where baby fry and when i transferred the bogwood they sprung up a week later. They are still going and Harass him when he has his prawns .

So he is in a 5ft Tank ......What realisticly size are we talking about here.?

He is a good Lad and leaves the Dans alone ....For Now :shock:
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

If well cared for, he can get full size.

Generally body length can reach 12-18", not including the tail. And that tail can be pretty darn impressive!

Assuming of course healthy conditions, feeding, etc.
