Syno nigriventris and Mystus carcio tank size

I have five Syno Nigriventris (one more comming soon) and four (possibly one more soon) Mystus Carcio all are between 3/4in and 1 1/2in. I was wondering what size tank I will need when they are all full grown. Would a 29g be alright or will I need a 55g? There is also a red tail black shark with them until it is big enough to go into my eupterus/barb tank. Thanks for any advice.

A 29 gallon is good enough.

The sizes that S. Nigriventris and M. Carcio grows to aren't really that big, so from that perspective, they would be fine in a 29g tank. They don't seem to have any agression/territorial behaviour in either species, so that should also make it fine in a 29g.
So in conclusion, as long as you keep the water condition fine [which shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't add too many other fish], it's no problem keeping these in a 29g tank.
