I called the office today,they said they could take him in a minimum of 2 months,and maximum 8 months.So would/could he last that long?I like him an all,really interesting fish.Not a fussy eater,either.I didn't say tankmates,so here they are: Imperator angel,panther grouper,porkfish,banded pipefish,and dog faced puffer.A little overstocked.And the pipefish gets ALOT of food.I feed him with a turkey baster.
