Fowleri Tang pics

[Ambition]

I'd say just about 9" TL. Lots more to go!

Wow! The largest fish I've ever had so far is my multibar angelfish, and he is only 3" TL tops. One day I'll have the proper tank for some of the larger fish that I joined the hobby for.

Haven't seen one of these in person before, they are stunning!

Nice Peter! He's really growing up to be a stunning fish. How big are you hoping he will (or won't) get? Mine has slowed down in growth (I think) but is getting a little feisty, hope it's just a phase.

Hoping around 12 inches (14 with tail streamers )

Bigger than that and he'll have to go to one of the casino tanks around here.

How big is yours, and feisty with which other fish?

Probably on the hefty side of 10" not including the tail streamers, which have gotten more pronounced. He's been at odds with my achilles for a while now, but the achilles is the one who initiates that. He's a big puppy dog with smaller and more peaceful fish so you probably won't have issues with no other big Acanthurus tangs in the tank.

Yeah, the only Acanthurus with mine is a powder blue I've had since 2006, and still not much more than 4-5".

Has anyone kept a fowleri with a dussumeri? I have a 350 with a fowleri in it now, would like to add a dussumeri soon, thanks!

Well, any updates? How is everyone's fowleri doing? Mine is a BEAST at this point.... but a model citizen. Still not bigger than the male meredithi angel (largest fish in the tank) but getting there.

Crazy pretty!

Crazy pretty!

And I love his mellowness... never even a fin flare. It's like having a giant goldfish in there with them.

Snapped a few pics last night... love this gentle giant! These are all with flash photography... he is much darker in normal tank lighting.
