Big is fine. They will go in a 180. I had one once, but died pretty quickly. He got stressed from a Dragon Wrasse and broke out with a hard to treat ich. After that the Dragon Wrasse was sold. Since then I've looked for another one and can't seem to find any for sale either local or online. They generally go for $65-140.

It is time, not posts. Once you are here for two weeks then you can send and receive PMs

Nice fish BTW! Be sure that you want a fella like that in your tank.

yup, the 180 will be worked around semi aggressive fish. The one I had was actually pretty peaceful and ate market prawns.. I'm still mad about that dumb dragon stressing him out.

You already had one? That is great! So you know how to care for them already. Be sure to select tank mates that will work well with him. Fish are how they are. Natural instincts always come out in them.
