Remora update.

i was about to ask you how you feed him.. lol i would never have thought that a remora could be trained to eat from the water surface. what are your future plans for that beauty?

They have no difficulty eating off the surface. People tend to think they have pleco type mouths, but its not.
Remoras are notorious for having massive indescriminate appatites.
Here is a picture of a remora's mouth.

Eventual plans are somewhere along the lines of an above ground pool.

Pool sounds like the best option. Cant wait to see it when its up...
Btw i knew about the remora mouth... Just figured it would be too use to eating off the surface its stuck to..

Size as an adult will depend on species....there are somethiing like 8 native to the US. Smaller species only get 10-12". It the big monsters that start to look like cobia that will eat you out of house and home.

Yeah. I'm 99% sure mine will be one of the bigger species.

Say, seeing as you have alot of experience with sharks and such, do you know anything about remora captive care? I can't find ANYTHING on keeping them, other than they need big tanks, and lots of food.
