only person that I know of on this forum that has a big enough tank for that beauty is Frank with his 400 some odd gallon otherwise maybe the aquarium is the best place for this amazing fish :birthday:

It looks like a Acanthurus xanthopterus, Yellowfin Surgeonfish. This is a very big fish that will get about 20"-22". I have 2 very large ones, that I got from Bob1000, in my tank.

I guess not, what size tank would be ideal for a 1' fish?

 

[vashawn]

i will post a better pic tomorrow, just in case!

And about your question, i'm not sure what is an ideal tank size. i guess it also depend on how many fish you have in the tank. Anyone?

Glad to here they are still around.. Keep up the good work Mike...

Mike post a pic. i would like to see yours.

I'm very lazy in talking pictures and because they're very activity it's hard to get a good picture of them but I'll try.

They're get very large, as do almost all of the Acanthurus, and really should be in tanks that are very large, at least 6'+ with plenty of swimming space. In the end unless you have a very large tank, 8'-12'+, they should probably be kept just in public aquariums. If you've been to Atlantis you would see a bunch of them in their big reef tank, which will show you how large some get.

They're still around and very large, they're even larger than my Dussimeri tang. They do fight with each other all the time.
