You may be able to keep a very small one in there for a while, but he will eventually outgrow that size tank. Over the last 2 years mine has grown almost as much in width and height, as he has in length. Keep in mind that they get huge, at least 12", and will need a large tank in the long run.

I dont suggest it. You are just going to have to get rid of it shortly, or setup a bigger tank.

ok thanks I will just leave it an empty tank. Maybe someday I will have a larger tank and make it aggresive.

Why leave the tank empty? There are several fish that are interesting that could be kept in a 50 octo tank. You could look into dwarf lion, anglers, and hawkfish.

There's always the toby puffers like the valentini or fiji. Beautiful fish with lots of character.
