Yeah, a medium-sized tank like around 600 gallons would be better, but a 250 would do for small fry. My basement is mostly taken up by my large tank so I haven't really tried to keep LMB in a small tank like a 250 because I don't have a lot of room to experiment withnice tank.... kinda empty though They need larger tanks like in the 250+ range as they grow right?

im not sure about for adult size as alot of people say they get diffrent sizes in diffrent places and im in washington. i dont know though, i will probably get a custom tank in 6months to a year, a square one instead of rectangle, it would give him alot more room and wouldnt need as many gallons. and also am looking for more fish to stock it. also does anyone know how to sex lmb?

I honestly don't know, I do know that females are larger then males. Do tell what kind of tankmakes you're going to have for the LMB.

Wow nice setup, this is one of my dream tanks I wanna setup in the future, keeping a LMB in a big tank like that. But I still haven't got enough space for one yet. Someday...
