I had one in a 120g and when he got to 5" (went from 3"-5" within a year) it was obvious that he was outgrowing the tank, started getting very aggressive and swam in a stressed sporatic mannor. So I upgraded to a 230g and even then I found it on the small side for him when he got to 8". They get to a foot long in size, a 12" fish is an extremely tight fit for a 125g. |
That is funny as that is the one link I didn't read.

But I respect your experience and will error on the side of caution.
