I dont make new threads, i merely answer questions in longetivity. I just think it is annoying to see him taking up the board, wen he should just go and look up this fish somewhere else. marinedepotlive has full rundowns of many more fish than swf.com has. They have difficulty levels, eating habits, minimum tank sizes AND pictures . There are other places, if u search on google.... that will also give u full synopsis of any species. This IS the internet. This place helps, but wen u post this much (not by answering, but by starting new threads) then it is bad. A question now and then is okay, but every day, twice to three thimes a day, is not good. I went to that site for a year b4 I found this place, and that is how i know a bunch on fish, but not corals. I dont blow up on eeryone on the site, and i dont own it, bang guy does, lol. Plus, I do enjoy reading his threads, they give me a nice laugh every now and then. im done here. No more arguing, or a moderator will shut this down anyway

Well, I had to go to the site, look up fish, then goatfish, then yellow goatfish. Then I had to highlight those certain words in one sitting, which was tough cuz sumtimes I accidently highlighted the picture, or the price, or the whole thing, so i got frustrated. Then, I had to open a new post and paste those words in, then I had to go back, find the url for that certain page and paste in that as well for the copyright information

your tank is way too small for a yellow goat. they need at least 120g. I'm a little bit confused because you want to get so many fishes that i don't know what fishes you're actually getting (btw, are getting shark/ray?). back to the point, as previously said, they can grow to 20". they're like a gentle giant and should be kept with peaceful/noncompetitive tankmates. since the theme of your tank is aggressive predators, it won't be suitable.for your tank also like many other juvenile wrasses, they have a high metabolism and you should be willing to feed it frequently. otherwise they will simply waste away. also, it might be a good idea to do some research before posting you question here because there is a plethora of information out there on the internet.

:happyfish Wow! Chandler you need to chill dude! He's only 15 years old. We all ask questions thats kinda the point Lionfish 28 is very insightful, and asks some good questions. Oh, and the yellow goatfish needs tank of 140 gal. and eats meaty foods, and only a cleaner when small, and is delicate fish. -ali

WOW! that big! My lfs had some that were like 2inchs.Looks like i wont be getting that for my 180(whenever i get the 180.)
Pufferman,iam really still deciding on a shark or ray:notsure:
If i put my eel(chainlink),striped puffer,dwarf lion(dwarf lion because if my V.lion gets big before i get my 180 i will trade him in for a dwarf
).and if there is a possiblity that i can put a shark and stingray in the 180 i will.But if i cant i will get a stingray......maybe a shark.......i dont know!!!!!!:help:

............ Im 15 TOO!!!! YAY!!!
. WATCH out
. On the insert I put in, I think it is in the 200 range actually. They arent as great as some other fish out there, so dont go for it. Yer volitan will be fine in the 55 unless you got him really big. His fins look huge, but he can fold em and doesnt really care that much. They dont swim too much either. NOW, I know peoples are gonna spit and hiss, but if you wanna, keep him in until you KNOW he is too big, then get a bigger tank, cuz u will NOT wanna let him go.
