ya if you want it how big is it?

tellycoleman · 02-24-2008, 01:59 AM

right now its only 5 inches

Gets up to 14 inches? ouch. Thats one of the fish where the 6' tank tang rule should be enforced. I dont usually stick by it, but that guy can get huge. If you got the room, I say hes cool looking.

I wouldnt get it. I've seen them get even bigger than 14"... more like 20". Definitely left to those with huge tanks, as in hundreds of gallons.

Hope you have a big tank!

Though theyre a real nice fish, yes. After seeing they can get to a whopping 20"+, not just 14", I wouldnt get it. IMO, there are fish out there just as nice, like a blonde naso or something, that dont need quite as much room.

I change my vote to no lol.
