From this and other forums I got tank sizes from 55-125 gals! So what it boils down to is, could I do it? Is Scott W. Michaels wrong or is this information outdated? Or would 30 gals be with the snowflake being by himself?

Beautiful fish, but they can get big, like 2 or three feet. Gentle, but can and will knock things over. Needs places to hide, but will come out for feeding. Once it's comfortable, will swim around knocking things over. Need a closed cover. they like to explore and will back out over the edge. Tough though. Had one on the floor for almost two hours. Plopped him back in and he recovered.
A bigger tank is better.
