I'll let the owner talk about her. [img]smile.gif[/img]

All I can say is that she is a happy looking fish. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I guess that would be me. :D Thanks for posting it Darren.

The story of how it got to reside in my tank is a long one. Some day perhaps. [img]smile.gif[/img] Anywho, lets just say it was a healthy, but extremely skinny & starving young PB that would most likely now be dead. In the short time its resided in my 180, she has gotten much fatter and from a humans perspective, [img]smile.gif[/img] , is extremely happy cruisin the tank. I was telling Darren, how she surfs & porpoises in the current from a 3MD.

As all my fish, she gets fed several times per day, plus has tank algae and an always present clip of nori, which she attacks with gusto.

Can we all sing "born free" :D

I have sold my 180. My 170, although 48in. by 32in. is fairly large, its not enough room for a powder brown, IMO, esp. when my yellow calls it home. Several other aquarists wanted him, but still with 4ft tanks.

So, when I went to Winnipeg yesterday, we took him to Jaysons frag grow out facility. He now lives in his own 500 gal. tank, natural sunlight, where he can roam, eat algae, grow fat and be happy.

Have you replaced your 180 and 170 setups Doug, or are you "out of the game" now?

I had no idea you sold your tanks.

Hi Andrew;
Sorry, I wrote it wrong. I can see how it looks like I sold the 170 also. Just sold the 180, pumps, skimmer,etc. Lost my buyer for my corals and just said pthhhhhhhh on it. I would never sell my 170.

My buyer, was also the one who had my scrubber, so I got it back also. It will run the 170. Thats why I decided to give the powder brown away. To crowded in the 170.

Nice fish Doug.

Yes, it was a beaut Troy. And I nursed it back to health from a skinny little youngster. It ate from my fingers, and was very friendly in the short period of time I had it. I really hated to give it away. Looked at it many times nose to nose, while it was in the holding tank, wanting to put it in the 170.

But I thought it better to take advantage of Jaysons, nice offer, to let it live in the 500.
