How big of a tank for a sun fish? Funsies

[randomfishdude]

I have several. That photo is acually from my tank. 326,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of saltwater. I can't really count all the fish I have in there. I've successfully bread every last species. I personally wouldn't keep one of thoes fish if I had a choice.

I could fit that in a 55.

This is the can do attitude we all strive for!

Wrong fish. It’s actually this guy, the Opah that’s warm blooded.

Eggs on my face

Mm, I'd say a 5-6ft 120 would be good, though you could probably get away with a 4ft 120 short term

Well that's what people call my tank. I just call it my tank but people call it the ocean.
I hate it when people use my tank without askingm

You should get an oarfish instead. You just need a 2’x2’x100’ tank for that. Just needs to be able to up and down.

Well now you need to google oarfish

So funny thing is I came here because I actually kept a sunfish tank before, lol. I’ll be honest though, mine were the freshwater red breasted and pumpkin seed varieties! I made sort of a planted north east US biotope for them and they were highly entertaining and beautiful fish! Not ocean sunfish though haha.

Right, just for funsies. Office is going on in a lottery pool. Everyone is planning what vacations they're going on, houses to buy, exotic destinations. How am I thinking of spending the moula?

That's right, target feeding my new sun fish.

* not my photo.

What size tank would you need for this monster? Oh, gotta run. Hear the Sun Fish Police on the way.

P.s., if we win, which we won't, but if we do, I'm getting a massive tank I can swim in.

Shhhhh but hoping to see them in Bali in a few months I'll ask them what size they like.
