Remoras get very big! What size tank?
 
like 30" yeah?
 
Then go for it! :)
 
And do these tanks cover a 30" fish properly as in enough room for it to move?
 
You seem reluctant to tell us the size of these tanks....but meh your gonna do it anyway.

I might pick one up-
I would like some info here from the experts...

It would be totally a new fish for me-
How do they generally do in the home Aquarium...Any special needs or requirements one should be concerned with?

Generally speaking the do badly. They need a large predator to mooch off of and get free rides. They eat the scraps left behind by the messy predators. I would also think they would have mental habitual problems with not having a big predator to ride on. Overall I think it would be a bad idea. If you like the look of a remora try to find another fish that looks similar but without the same needs.
 
I'd be surprised if you could buy one anywhere,ive never heard of anyone keeping one before,it's not really a suitable aquarium pet...and other than being diffrent would be very boring...mainly due to the fact they don't really do anything other than latch on to bigger animals and scavenge scraps!

Take a picture when you got one,i'll believe it when i see it lol

Why not get a much cooler massive fish like a Panther Grouper or something.
