Best Tank Setup for a Giant HMPK?

xoparis · Nov 24, 2008

Right, so I've kept HMPK's before with no rpboelsm in a smallish tank(2g)...but now ive got a giant sized HMPK on its way to my house.

Can anyone suggest a good setup/tank size for such an active fish? I wouldnt have an issue finding a solution if he wasnt a giant sized pk!

HMPK?

Halfmoon Plakat, i 10g will be ok,but 15 would be best,for their fin to grow properly,but 10 may just do it.

I say 15 gallon is also a good size, with 10 being a minimum IMO.

man, can their fins really grow as long as it says in the link.

Really much depends on the space they have,food,care...,but mainly if bred with the proper mate,finnage like guppies.Halmoon Plakat are just an amazing betta.

Okay...

Im thinking for right now, Im going to end up using a 10g until he's bit older...once that happens, I'll start setting up a larger tank. He is pretty big...

He's only 3 months old and already 3 inches long.
