Holy COW 19+ inches at full size?! They are certainly beautiful.

Ya, they're nice looking fish, but I read the part about potential aggression and the size. I doubt a captive specimen will get to be 19 inches, but 10 would be nice. For now it will be about 4 inches going into my 90 for a week or two, then into the 180.

Nice fish and good commentary on tank size requirements. He states they will quickly outgrow a 200 gallon tank which makes sense, eh!. Maybe I can talk the Vancouver Aquarium to get one.

Safari has one right now that I'm fighting with someone else to get, but apparently more are coming, so I can have one of those.
