Thanks and since I plan on keeping him for another 5 or 10 years whatever his lifespan turns out to be I will be upgrading his tank you can bank on it.

I read an article last night that said "If well maintained they will live well over 30 years" Here is a link.

I just read that article, 30 years for a fish! Wow,I better start planning on a 300 gallon tank down the line. These guys are more amazing than I ever thought. I priced the 120 and as soon as I get a little overtime its next on my list.

I disagree with Harpo. I think he needs a larger tank as soon as you get an opportunity. I have to admit though that he looks healthy and happy. You've done an fantastic job raising him but you knew when you got him that he needs a bigger tank. Half the fish in the 180 can go in the 90 and the other half could be spread throughout the other 6 tanks. You should do the right thing and give him what he deserves.

Sorry, I'm not trying to flame. I'm sure there must be a reason for your setup so whatever you do, just keep taking extra special care of him like you're doing now. He's awesome.

You can't tell the guy to divvy up his fish without knowing what other fish he has. Maybe he has even bigger fish in the 180G.

Very nice Dovii, i grew mine to the same size in a 75 gallon and now he has his own 130 to kick it in.
