I'd say that tanks a little too small for a fish that gets 3'.

Yep its the classic beautiful young fish that becomes huge and less attractive with age.

i agreed, the tank is way too small for this fish. This fish is 5.5" in lenght in a 110 gallon tank. once i buy the tank, i will sell it to someone else with a bigger tank.
