Why would this be an aquarium fish?

[albert_dao]

Because it's cool?

thank goodness for glass and money.

Hmmm......

[Skimmer Juice]

what do you mean hmmm?The chances of the fish getting that size is slim.

[EmilyB]

You're right. It's not a tang. Very informative thread however.

I'd think this is much more challenging than a tang frankly. For one thing it is much larger, this fish at only 12" represents a huge bio load because of it's mass and diet. It is also much smarter and can be a serious danger to it's owner at that size or bigger.

However if someone is willing to take it on the responsibility I can't see why there would be an issue. Sniping at someone isn't going to change anything.

That is not a good enough answer Albert!
Did you sell Stinky the fish?
The website Emily referred to indicates a minimum 180 gallon tank is required.
What is the size of your tank, Stinky?

Thank you

Of course I sold him the fish. Who else in town can get that kinda stuff?

The tone of those thread is just going completely sour. Stinky is not ignorant to the nature of the animal, nor is he unwilling to upgrade if needbe. That said, his tank IS big enough.
