Sorry to hear. Does the Vancouver Aquarium ever take over some people's larger pets?

Yeah it sucks. Your tank is probably a little better for him but really in the end, you would just end up with the same problem I will have.

Maybe one of the fish stores?

I don't know of any who have a display large enough. I figured I would start to ask now. I think this will be a long term project.

I am willing to figure out how to get this fish to a home that is out of town too, especially before he gets really large. I would cover the costs.

Also possibly the Seattle Aquarium

Fish Addicts in Langley have tons of huge tanks.. maybe give them a shout.

It's actually been a little stressful, if I am being honest. I hate to think that his life is basically uncertain once he reaches a certain size.

I am trying to find a contact at the Vancouver Aquarium but so far, no luck. I feel like they may be more interested when he is a little larger but even then, I think it's a long shot. As far as I know, they do not take fish often, if at all.

If given the room to grow, he will be stunning though.

I will reach out tomorrow to some scuba friends. I have a few that work/quite involved with the aquarium

I have a 6 foot 150 with plans for a 350 soon. I have a lot of aquariums and been doing this 10 years if that helps
