Hi I just picked up my new Indo pacific Tarpon Saturday. He's about 5-6 inches thad hasn't eaten yet. I've offered him live but he occasionally would charge and snap, but not actually swallow. My dad was watching and he told me not to buy anymore expensive dull "boring" fish LOL. We literally sat there for an hour hahaha. I told him in a few days he would be smashing them like there's no tomorrow. Anyways I took a full tank shot just to see if you guys think he has enough room... I was thinking of taking out the large tree stump thingy on the right to make more space for him to swim? His tankmates for now are a 10 inch albino senegal bichir a 2 inch neolamprologus Tetracanthus and a 2 inch female peacock cichlid that has eggs in it's mouth. Thanks for looking!

Looks good. Hope you've got plenty of filtration on that tank. Keep us updated with his growth progress.
 
Thanks! I got 2 AC50s on that tank. I threw in a cube of bloodworms and he ate some when the current moved them. Afterawhile he started picking them off decorations.
 
Thanks for the replies. After he ate some bloodworms I threw in a couple feeders and he gobbled them up so that's a good sign:). I think I will remove or move the decoration on the right after I strip the peacock cichlid.
