So I went to a fish store earlier to browse their current stock. I came across this monster for sale; around $400 to be exact. The owner had it for two years before returning it to the store he bought it from. I figured, since I've been off of MFK for a while, this would kick off my return!

Thanks! I think I just kind of ignored the tab for a while, but I'm happy to be back!
Yeah, he was. One of the biggest fish I've seen for sale at a fish store. However, there were two feeder goldfish swimming around him peacefully; he was probably saving them for later. I'll keep you guys posted if I see him again; kind of like an "update on a fish I don't have" type thing.
So is he not yours then?Thanks! I think I just kind of ignored the tab for a while, but I'm happy to be back!

Unfortunately NOT...I'm running a 60g long. Even keeping him by himself would be a stretch! Datnoids are definitely on my bucket list, though...
I didn't even notice the cloudiness in his eyes before you mentioned that! Well, he WAS returned to the store from an owner who had him for two years; who knows what the owner did! I heard he was fed well, but I have no idea about tank conditions and such. He looked pretty healthy to me when I saw him; except for a few scratches on his side, probably from scraping against rocks, he looked okay. It was a really stunning fish to see in person. The pictures don't do him justice.
