Anyone have luck with a harlequin in an acryllic tank? I would like to get one for my 250g but I'm concerned it would scratch it too much and I'd spend more time buffing the tank than enjoying it.

I wondered that myself. I did buy one and have it in quarentine right now. I would have to imagine it can happen and I have heard of it but not often. I bet if you have one that sees it reflection and it gets agressive it could bite at the acrylic. I am going tag along to see what people say since I too have an acrylic tank.

Mines 6 in's and likes to spit water out at me when I look into the tank. Here is a pic of mine. I just haven't been able to get a pic of my own yet.

I hope so. I hope someone who has personally had one that had chewed on the acrylic chime in. I will also find out soon.

Wait once it gets bigger and the teeth start growing outwards.
I have a 5" tusk, but in a glass tank. However, I've never observed it trying to nip or push towards the front glass during feeding time.
Although, I do have a puffer that always nips toward the front of the glass during feeding time
Sorry, that's about the only $0.02 I can provide.

I've never owned an acrylic tank; but a similar question appeared on this (I think it was RC) forum and a few people said their tusk scratched their tanks. I've seen tusks scraping LR in a way that certainly would scratch acrylic. Fantastic fish though!
