what size tank do you have him in now.?
Considered a stock tub to buy you some time? Te may not want a bigger tank but a tub in the corner of the basement? He is a beautiful fish.
Bummer. Sorry to hear, Bro. He's a beaut! That's awesome you're unselfish enough to think of his welfare. There's plenty of people out there who would keep him in a 55 for the rest of his life without so much as a thought
Awesome Dovii, the colors are great. I'd second the tub idea as long as you realistically see yourself getting yourself into a place where you can fit a massive tank long term. If you're starting college (I'm assuming you're a young guy) soon it won't be worth the hassle with the constant moving.
Either way, I've seen these tubs recommended before.
