Depends on how many fry you want to raise :?: .. If its anymore then 6-8 use a 55gal, 4ft tank or larger ....... :wink:

ive heard of ppl using a 2'x18x18 tank as a grow out, but generally you wouldnt use anythng less then a 3'

Water changes are the secret. You simply must keep the water quality high, or your fry will not thrive.

You could use a 2 foot cube to grow juveniles out, but you'd need to change the water daily.
