Ok. Just be wary of how large this fish will get to be.

They're very nice fish, Quinn/teevee had one in his 150, although to the end there it was too big of a fish for even a 150.

:smile: yup, I only bought him because I knew I would switch tanks, i couldn't resist him when I saw them all at big al's.

we want a bigger tank than a 150g even :mrgreen:

But, you already had a big tank (120 I believe) and sold it? Why the change of heart?

no change of heart, i'm moving in sept. or oct. I sold the 120 because I cant have it in this condo. My plan was to have a big setup when I buy a house. Hello in wall tank! :biggrin: :biggrin:

They are a nice fish. I believe Steve still has mine in his 500 gal in the south end of Calgary... I suspect she's nearly the size of a dinner plate now.

I just picked up one of these guys on the weekend. Very cool fish and very active. I haven't had any luck with feeding seaweed yet but she sure loves brine, mysis, and plankton. Have you had any luck with seaweed?

This is the best picture I could get as she won't stop swimming!
