[jjjoey]

ive heard of remora. my mom has a huge one of her tank.
how big of one will i need?
:thinking:

 

[jayc]

There rated by the tank size. I think the first one is rated for up to a 75gal.
-Josh

 

[jjjoey]

whats the best i can get for a 55.
and how much do they run?

 

[fefo23]

55 gal its too small for an antenata they need more space a list 75 gal for 1. They get 24" in 2 years
