That's fatf, and an unusually big one, too. Once he gets healed up from the move he should pop!

Positive.

Fatf can get bigger, almost two feet, but I said that it's unlikely for them to do so in an aquarium. I'll admit, this was in large part because we just never see them in the hobby, and one as large as this fish is utterly unprecedented. Your fish is likely the largest know fatf in the hobby and I'm really looking forward to it growing out so I can gather some data off of it!

Thanks C Chicxulub I'll try and continue what the previous owner started. Can it be housed with a gatf? They are housed together currently and eating and not bothering one another but long term would it be ok?
