Meet Bubbles...

This is Bubbles. I used to be so happy in my 125g piece of the ocean. Due to circumstances beyond my control I am now forced to reside in a very small cube of water. My owner is trying desperately to adopt me out for just $20. I even come with all the fish food my owner has left! I'm a low maintenance pet and have a great personality. I'm a flirt with the camera....unfortunately my owner isn't the greatest picture taker. Please adopt me and get me out of this cubicle!

If I don't find a home by Wednesday, my owner is threatening to take me back to the fish store! Please don't make me go back there!
 
how big is bubbles , i have a 72 gallon tank that is 4 ft long . the only other fish i have is a tomato clown . i am ok with it if bubbles is on the small side .
 
I would say that mouth to tail he is about 4 - 5 inches. I definitely would not say he is on the small side and even if he were he would be growing and eventually outgrow the tank anyway. I just hope I can find a suitable home for him soon. I really don't want to have him go back to the lfs but he can't live in a sump with a bubbler in it either.
 
Where are you located in Chandler? Does Bubbles get along with other fish? I have a 220 mixed reef with a Blue Hippo Tang, Striped Bristletooth Tang and some other peaceful fish.

I am near Lindsay and Riggs roads. Yes he gets along with other fish. I used to have a blue hippo as well but that one was aggressive and even though she was smaller she would beat up on bubbles so I rehomed her a while back. He has lived happily with a blue chromis, two clowns, a flamehawk, a lawnmower blenny and two pajama cardinals for four years and has never shown any aggression towards any of them. He's a lover, not a fighter.

I have heard that you can not introduce a tang of the same body type into a tank with others or they will fight. I know the hippo is a different body type than a yellow, but I don't know about the bristletooth. What body type is it?
 
It is a Ctenochaetus striatus and is suppose to have a peaceful disposition. It doesn't seem to care about about anyone else in the tank unless it is feeding time and then all the food belongs to him.
 
Well, I guess I would say when you are dealing with animals it is impossible to predict for sure, but it sounds like they would get along because of their dispositions and you have a large enough tank that they wouldn't feel that their territory is being threatened. It's your call. I will pm you my number if you want to call for arrangements and directions. Thanks.
 
I looked at some pictures of your breed and it looks like they have a different body shape so I assume they would be o.k. anyway.
 
He has not found one yet. I've had so many people say they are interested and then when I give them my personal info I never hear from them again or they forget and promise to come another time. I don't consider him adopted till he has been picked up. Don't mean to sound rude, but a lot of people have wasted my time during this whole process of re-homing everything. I appreciate those who have actually purchased and picked up the things they have but a lot of people have been so inconsiderate of my time and effort. Done venting for now.....sorry.
 
It's better than the sump he is in now though. Sounds like nrannalli is going to take him. I will know this evening. His 220 is without question big enough though.
 
Well I'll keep my fingers crossed that he has indeed found a new home :)

The "little" toadstool you sold me does not feel so little now that it's finally settled in and happy in its new home. I could swear the thing is already getting bigger!
 
It wouldn't surprise me if it is bigger. They are very sturdy and fast growers so I'm sure it will do well for you. Glad to hear it is settled in to a new home. Just wait till it's big enough to cut for babies! Fun! But very smelly!
