Let's see yours, and let's hear your experiences, and photos, please!

I just ordered two, and am quite excited. First time keeping these.
 
well, i dont have an indo-pacific, i have an Atlantic Tarpon and he is probably the most good tempered fish in my tank.... i have never seen him attack anyone, except goldfish and he has always heen the biggest fish in the tank.... he schools with my ATF's, and they nip and chase him occasionally like he is one of their own, and he never chases back, which is unfair, but he looks no worse for the wear .... he was one of the first to eat pellets, he has beautiful, super shiny metallic silver color with purple fins .... very pretty and good natured hardy fish, the only downside is they get huge, and therefor need a very large tank... if this isnt a problem, then all in all they are an awesome fish

how big do they grow in the aquarium?
 
Just got my two today - OSA ROCKS!!!!
Nobody else has them ??? They are beautiful, very interesting fish. VERY calm, and not shy at all, right out of the bag.
 
awesome man, congrats... best of luck with them.... in my experience they seem to like krill (frozen, or freeze dried) more than they liked silversides.... kinda neat that they are air gulpers as well... i'll try and get a pic of my 15" Atlantic today

They haven't been in the pet trade for long and recquire massive tanks. So it's quite normal that almost nobody has one.
