How do I change this?
I'm thinking A. Striatus because of the worm shaped esca, correct? As opposed to A. Hispidus with a pom-pom shaped esca... pics are below.
So here's the problem. I have a 20L with 10g sump, which would normally be good for a fish of this size. BUT I had planned on doing a mantis in one side and frogfish in the other so I siliconed a baffle into the tank to equally separate it into two 10 gallon sides. Well when I saw this little guy about two months ago I thought I remembered it being about 1.5-2 inches...he's actually about 3.5-4 inches right now. I had originally planned to take the baffle out when either the mantis or frogfish outgrew their side and set up a 10g for the mantis and let the frog have the 20.
SO...should I take the baffle out now? Or wait a few weeks until the fish is settled in? Or would 10gal be big enough for a 4 inch angler for a few months/years? I don't have the mantis yet so don't worry. I'm not big on the idea of keeping him cramped if the 10gal side is too small for his size. I'm thinking that if I take the baffle out tomorrow or tuesday I'll get all the stress out of the way at once. Whereas if I wait a few weeks I'll have to freak the little guy out again. BTW I had to drive about 240 miles roundtrip to get him (Milwaukee), which is why I didn't just pay for him, leave him, go home and take the baffle out, and finally return to pick him up. So what would you guys do?
Ok Here are some pics. The glare from the sand is really messing with the exposure so the detail/contrast isn't that great. :mad2: He is so sweet!
Man I do NOT wanna go to work tomorrow!
FTS to give you an idea of his size in his side of the tank (he's on the right).

He's VERY active right now. Swimming all over the tank. But yes they usually do just sit around. The guy at AU gave me 15% off and just said I was a member of Wisconsin Reef Society. Apparently all members of that club get 15% all the time, so I guess I'll have to register. He also threw in 3 ric frags for free that he just fragged yesterday.
