And so do most members here, I find it very annoying. 8' but always be prepared for something bigger~

:( i hope mine gets bigger than 8' :( im hoping for 10-12.
 
I'm only getting them because I am working on a business with a friend that will give me the space to house adults. He's getting 6, I'm getting 3, and another friend is getting 2. The latter will probably become mine once larger since he doesn't have the space for them at larger sizes. They'll go in my 3600 gallon and my friend's 2 2600 gallons until the bigger facility is built. He's already owned two businesses with 100,000 gallon shark tanks; both sold for much more than he had invested and he was able to keep the 6" acrylic front in both instances. I agree that people should be prepared for the long term housing these magnificent fish need and deserve.
 
I do not put any deadlines on anything..well i did on the payment to make sure everyone gets a piece of the pie.

I have confidence that my fellow hobbyist will be able to keep these fish for a long time and grow them out just fine.

Smile... and relax, this is a wonderful hobby keep it simple and keep it sweet. :D

envy, that is the only thing i can come up with when i think of someone owning a 100k tank. nicely done. hope you can grow and breed them ;) help keep the beautiful fish around awhile.
 
i dont think it should be eating me out of house and home in a few months, but in a few years im screwed, i think ill be busted down to ramen noodle soups mac and cheese and pb&j sandwiches. probably take a couple years for it to start out eating my cats, but im sure the stomach with fins will eventually pull it off.
