One of the easiest fish to acclimate and literally spent NO time hiding once going into the display. He went straight to exploring and mingling with the other fish. Didn't expect any aggression and not even the slightest bad look towards him from the other fish. But can you blame them??? He looks so bad a$$! I wouldn't mess with a fish like that. He is a perfect size for the tank I think too. Just a bit smaller than the Hippo, exact same size as the Naso and Rabbitfish. His colors make my corals look dull!
Going to need to upgrade real soon though now. Probably this year...
That reminds me. I was at my parents yesterday and went to the basement to see my 240. I freaked. I have yet to ever fill the thing up except for a leak test and its scratched! I questioned my mom and apparently a few boxes were beside it. Jeez...boxes scratched the tank? No way I want to deal with acrylic I don't think. So that one is out. My stepdad is most likely going to buy it for his rays and Arowanas. I also have a 180 in their basement but I hate 180's. Just aesthetically. I prefer shallow and long tanks. The 240 is the same as the 180 in height but because its 8' long, it looks way shorter.
I am going to try to get a 72" or 84" x 30" wide and 18" tall tank built.
Actually I will get the glass cut and have my step dad build it with me.
Anyone know a good place for big pieces of glass?
