473 liters or 125 gallons.

Adults make a 75 gallon look cramped.

These fish get VERY large and need lots of space as adults. They will also eat any fish that can fit in its mouth. Smaller fish would be picked off one by one at night as it is a nocturnal hunter. They don't like bright lights. Provide a big long PVC tube for it to take refuge in.

Plus 1 on above - I've always been told to expect the loss of small fish. Would be a lovely fish to have at some stage.
