RustyBlade Mega Fish Posts: 987 Kudos: 1667 Votes: 391 Registered: 23-Apr-2003 | We have a couple of LFS in my area that has these fish and they're sooo very friendly! They follow you around the tank One of them was in a 5ft bow front tank and he couldn't turn around in it Thankfully they've now moved him into a bigger tank but it still could be bigger for this beautiful monster to be more comfortable. I love them to bits |
