heard they are quite sensitive, and yes they get huge, would recommend at least a 180

The lady that bought my tank has a big sweetlips in her 29g at home, it is about 8-9". Told her she should put it in the big tank with her others, but she is afraid the angel and trigger will pick on it, and she doesn't want to have any problems like that. I have no idea what she will do with him, he is already too big for a 29g! She bought my tank so she could move her 10" Niger trigger and her 8" Emperor Angel (as well as a few other fish I can't remember, hawkfish I remember too) she was buying mytank to move her fish out of a 55 GALLON TANK, if you can believe that! I can't see how they could even turn around in there! lol. She REALLY needed my tank! But she had told me they (Sweetlips) are a very hard to keep fish in captivity, but she has managed somehow. I remember reading a while back on here actually, that someone had bought one thinking it was a clownfish, lol, only to find out later it kept growing, and growing, and growing.......
