This Round Pompano has been in our 200-gallon tank for six months. It’s active and peaceful, and we’ve not had any issues with aggression or health. The fish grows steadily and shows good coloration. Only suitable for experienced aquarists with large tanks.
Sam Clark –
We added this fish to our expert-level setup after researching compatibility. It’s calm and doesn’t stress other fish. The size is within the expected range. Maintenance is demanding, but the fish is healthy and visually appealing.
Frank Arnold –
The fish arrived healthy and seems to adapt well. However, it requires a large tank and consistent water parameters. Not a good fit for smaller setups. We’re happy with the purchase but only recommend for experienced hobbyists.
