So would you just get him, then once he grows too big give him away? Where?

[crister13]

Ya probably. If he gets too big give him away if he stays the same size keep him.

No, you wouldn't be able to keep it for life, they do in fact reach close to 24" in captivity, and need a much larger tank. What is the foot print of your current 150? __________________ https://www.aquariumadvice.com/articl...ank/Page1.html how to cycle your tank https://www.aquariumadvice.com/articl...ate/Page1.html How the Nitrogen cycle works

Where many reef fish occupy tiny territories, tangs collect into big schools and fly all over the reef. So it is kind of cruel to keep them in a tiny environment. They need lots of holes to sleep in and fly thru and as much room as you can afford to give them. __________________

My friend had a 14 inch vlamingi in his 265 gallon and had to move it out. Got too big for the tank __________________
