I saw this while browsing the internet. You can definitely see why they urge you to have a large tank when keeping surgeonfish.

Thats huge! I figure you'd need at least a 70 gallon tank for that one.

Thats huge. Pity he had to kill it so as he could get a record.

Did you mean 700g? Maybe a 7,000g?

Probably but not very common. 28" max length...
