A male RES can get up to 9 inches long, while a female can grow to 12 inches.

That one is not mine, although in a year or so, maybe it will be, I found that on the net and thought I could use it for reference to how big they get. :D

I know the tank we have is okay for now. My husband leaves in a week for Deployment. Maybe when he gets back we will get a new one . . .

Neptune is about 5" in a 50 gal.

so March would probably be good.
