Just let me know when you're ready for him, I need to thin the herd a little.. Food is getting pretty pricey now that i got that 26" Orbignyi in there.. I'm going through a pound to pound and a half of fish fillets a day.. :shock:
I'll try and get some new tank shots, the ones i have are kinda old..

Forgot about the 2 Hystrix that i'm holding / selling for a friend, they're eating like pigs too.. :cry:
Omg that's a lot of fish filets! What size tank is he in right now? And can you tell me kind of his growth rate since you've had him? I know hystrix grow a lot slower than others so I just don't want him to be in a tank too small since we can't really upgrade until we move in 7 months!hbluehunter said:Just let me know when you're ready for him, I need to thin the herd a little..

Right now i have everyone packed into a 300 gal.. I have loads of filtration on it though..
I have 2x FX5's, 1 40 gal sump with 10 gallons of bio max, 20lbs of crushed coral, and is pumping 1017gph, plus 200gph fluidized bed filter rated for a 300 gal, 2 big sponge filters running off Azoo backup batteries, and a big airstone/disc also..
As far as his growth rate you don't have to worry about that, he's only grown like 2 inches in 2 years..lol He is definatley more hystrix than motoro..lol

Lol okay good. The tank he would be going into would be a 160gal but it has a pretty wide footprint. Its almost 2ft. I think like 22". That may be a little small but he will be pretty much the only one in there. Maybe a couple top of the tank guys but nothing on the bottom with him. We will definitely have enough filtration on the tank, including a sump. I just want to make sure you know where he is going before I buy him. If any of it doesn't sound fair to you just let me know. I hate selling fish just because I don't really know where they are going to go!

Thanks, it took me awhile to get them. They are both wild caught Rapps Festae.. I've thought several times about selling them but everytime I look at that female with those amazing colors I just never post them up..
