make sure to get a big tank with plenty of room because the get big. never had one but seen some pretty large ones at lfs. hth

They need very very very very large tanks, and should not, IMO, be kept by most home hobbyists.

Umm as said, very, very, very ,very large tank.

How large of a tank would you recommend for 2?

 

[simm]

Small ones require nothing less than a 125 I believe and that may just be for 1. They do get up to 1 foot as the pic above shows. I had a friend who had one and he ended up getting rid of it. Below is some info I have found on him. IMO as Ophuria said should not be kept in a home aquarium.
