No personal experience, but you'd better have a big tank. These fish get up to 2 feet in length!

what would be the minimum tank size you would need to house one of these babies?????

Well, it would need something that it could turn around in. That puts you at a 180 minimum to get 24 inches front to back. You really should give it more swimming room though, so that would mean a tank that is 96 inches long. That puts you at a 200 minimum.

Someone with personal experience with these fish may recommend even going higher....
