In my experience when you get rid of fish that you absolutely ador you just end up trying to replace him/her down the road anyway...

I think it was the surgeonfish/rabbitfish book that listed them at a 15", but, you both are probably right.....highly unlikely that our captive fish will ever reach full potential....regardless, my Chevy is the biggest chevron Ive personally seen......I guess ultimately , I just feel that a 10" fish deserves a bigger home than a 260g.....although the reality is, how many people out there have a tank much bigger than that?....I mean I know there are quite a few here and there but the percentage of tanks larger than Im doing are small

your right too man.....I know I would miss him....... even tho he's a big lipped, lumbering, clumsy(I have seen him with more than a few scratches on his head), bully of a fish....I would want another one.........I have no idea what Im gonna be doing as far as work goes, so a $200 tang may not be possible financially for me up there....

Just sayin I would keep him . but im going through that say thing I have to downgrade and would rather a a crap load of smaller fish my busy like in the tank.. P>S

That Scolly is one sexy piece of coral I think i must have it.

Just Sayin

I hear ya, but Chevy has gone from a 3" juvi to 5 1/2" in about a year and a half.....its kinda surprising me how fast he's growing....and growing on me

Love that war coral, Just picked one up that was sitting at our shop for over a year. I must say under good lights they look fantastic. Mines not as nice as yours, but then again neither is my tank. Looking forwards to what you do with V3
