Photoshopped picture of a parrotfish in a home aquarium.

Sort of reminds me of the pic I "took" of my old 75g tank a few years ago.

OMG that shark tank is so overstocked!!! JK

 

[kurtyboh]

are you sure its overstocked? I think many would disagree, I had a guy ask me to help him set up his sharktank, it was a 55gal and he wanted a japanese bullhead shark... so basically his tank was 6 inches shorter than the fish.

I hope you are kidding...

I think the parrotfish in the photo is the terminal phase (male) of Cetoscarus bicolor. The cute little white and orange juveniles often find their way into the aquarium trade, but few aquarists realise they grow 2.5 feet long!

0.0 Oh my gosh. I assume you work at an LFS?

 

[kurtyboh]

no, stay at home dad, just someone i met who wanted a tank...

 

[Greenturtle]

Oh. I haven't met anyone (in real life) else who has a SW tank outside of the LFS

 

[MarineEddy]

It is a Bicolour Parrotfish

 

[slitherbomb]

I stand corrected. It is definitely a bicolor parrotfish.

A link to an original picture is here.

Yes, as I said before, Cetoscarus bicolor!
