no offense, but you need an upgrade yourself.

this fish probably does need upgraded though. at this point i feel it should be in at least an 18" wide tank.

He's almost 12" because he has enough room to turn with a little to spare. I will be giving him a new home soon, maybe. I need to check legality in Hawaii, as I'm moving there soon.

I've noticed people are quick on here to flame you for the size of your tank.
