Large... the guy said he was about 5". But I just got a call a short time ago and the guy wasn't sure if mine went out for tomorrow or if it will come next Saturday. He's supposed to confirm and get back to me.

In US dollars that would currently be about 110-130, or 25-50 for the young ones.

Have you thought at all about keeping any particular species of shark in there? the tank is large enough to house some kind of shark, right?

Yeah, I've thought about it and I do think the tank is large enough for a benthic shark. I had an epaullette for about 3 years and he was very cool. I've also thought about a horn shark or a Japanese or Wards Wobbegong. But I will only do 2 bottom dwellers in the tank and I think I'd rather go with a blue dot ray.

Well, I "accidentally" bought a fish today. The Dussumier tang is ordered and will be coming on Saturday. This evening, I stopped at the LFS to get some food and encountered this guy. He was from someone who was breaking down his tank and looked perfect. I broke a couple of my cardinal rules because I took him while they were acclimating them for their tank so I never saw him eat, and I still have a fish coming Saturday... not quite sure how to handle that yet.
Put him in the tank and fed the fish about 10 minutes later to try to cut back on the aggression. This guy actually ate tonight... it was pretty amazing. Here you go:





I just absolutely couldn't resist this guy. Now I'm debating on whether I should put the Dussumier in the display when he comes on Saturday or in the fuge. I don't want to completely stress out my existing fish. Hmmm... any opinions?

crimzy your tank is hideous. give me directions to your house so i can take it off your hands. thanks chief
what ever happened to getting another blue dotty? i love that ray he's so awesome. he looks like a pranker to me. i can just picture him sittingin the sand waiting for a fish to come by scaring the crap out of the fish and the ray running away from the scene of the crime lol.
