Thanks guys. I cant wait for his to be a monster lol. I thought he was a bit pricey but the store puts big fish in small tanks so people feel bad and buy them. Im not one to just walk away and say na ill get him cheaper. last time I bought one from them he was around the same size and i only paid $45 so I dont know if they bumped up the price cause of winter or what But i live in Spencer Ma 01562. I have some fish stores around me but only 3 within an hour sells them so id spend about the same after gas anyways going to get one a little cheaper. Over all im happy with the purchase
