You're going to need a new tank within 6 months if he is already 8"
Beautiful fish, but that tank is what? 50 gallons? Prepare to put on your flame suit, you're about to get drilled.
That fish wont reach it's potentially if it can't grow properly.
Hooe you got immediate plans lined up. Good luck. The fish looks gorgeous.
