The fish arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to our 55-gallon tank with a good flow. We provide daily feeding with frozen foods and it’s very calm. The size is impressive and it looks natural in the tank.
Tim Chapman –
We were expecting a larger fish, and this XXL specimen is quite impressive. It’s not overly active but stays in one area, which is fine for our setup. Needs a bit of space and stable water conditions.
Sam Simpson –
Great addition to our reef tank. The fish seems to enjoy the current and hides well in the rockwork. We feed it twice a day and it’s very responsive to food.
