yah my bf is taking it b/c my largest tank is 30gal thats at my house and all my meanie head africans are in there. I have him in my 15 for now with 2 parrots and a front b/c they are more chill and dont bother him and they are all also small. It's my mini monster tank. I am sure it'll be less then 4 months before he goes into the grow out 30gal at my bf's, then its on to the 125gal and after that hopefully we'll have our 200+ gallon tank ^__^
