BIG FISH is still the topic of the week and today let's put a spotlight on our very own BIG fish! Of course your big fish may be a big fish to someone else but let's still see what you got!

1. The Notorious B.I.G. F.I.S.H. - Do you have a big show fish in your tank? If so what is it and let's see a photo!

2. What is the size of the "biggest" fish in your reef aquarium? Could even be a small one. :p

Siganus magnificus is I believe 6 inch and the Halichoeres chloropterus is hitting that 6 inch mark. All my fish look small in photos (I don’t understand how people have their fish look their normal size) however I can assure you they are medium-large.

I was 14" until there was an all out war in my tank and the blonde naso was killed. :(
Poor tiny. He was a good fish.

Currently, my mingii is about 15". Longer if you count streamers.

I used an old dog ball for a comparison of my 2 headed hammer colony… maybe that won’t work for a fish haha.

My firefish is a whopping 2 inches and dominates my tank! He's a monster, no need to tell me.
I’ve never seen a fish that big! Must’ve had it for years!
