The Notorious B.I.G. F.I.S.H. - What's your BIGGEST fish?

[RubyU235]

Purple tang, anenome got his face in this pic.

I have lobo just like that! Do you know if it has a “name”?

 

[Slocke]

Biggest or longest? Because eels really cheat this category.

scribbled rabbit got territorial in a 240. Before we left for dinner he was acting out. I told my wife I would catch him and put him in the sump until I could rehome him. When we got home, he had killed Tiny, 3 yellows, 3 mimics, 2 clowns and was chasing the blue damsels. I netted him and euthanized him. No way I wanted that going to someone else. I will never really understand what made him freak after 1 and a half years of being with the same fish.

That’s a dang Greek tragedy! Just like $1000 gone…

 

[RubyU235]

Biggest or longest? haha

That’s a long boi…

 

[TWYOUNG]

They do indeed reach two feet in length and thus there is some debate as to their suitability as aquarium fish. On the positive side they seem to use that intimidating size to peacefully rule the tank.

Don't Vlamingii Tangs get to around 2'?

That's not a lobo. Let me look cuz I forgot it's name.
This is not the right name either but same coral.

This is it.... acan pachysepta. It has a extremely powerful sting to other corals of they touch. My chalise is melting.

My 3 Purple Tangs are the biggest in my tank. Nothing else is even half their size at the moment.

"Blimpy" our Stars & Stripes puffer is probably pushing 11" at least. he was about 5" when we brought him home almost 2 years ago

 

[Spicy Reef]

I think the adult size is around 10-14'' but i'm sure there are some seriously larger one out there pushing that 18+'' mark!

according to all descriptions of the species they will easily hot the 60cm mark which is 24" or 2'.
not sure about if this is in captivity though. I've seen this size in public aquariums and nust shy of this in an aquarium at a restaurant.

 

[CoralB]

At the moment 6 inch kole tang and a 7 inch rabbit fish

 

[binaryfuneral]

4 maybe 5

 

[StewL6]

I have a 5 inch yellow pyramid butterfly and a 5 inch black pyramid butterfly and a 5 inch yellow tang. Probably inheriting a 6 inch sail fin tang next couple weeks as he has outgrown my sons tank and my tank is twice as big.

I’m with you, got a 18” Snowflake eel

 

[herozero]

All these polls lately about size is making me feel insecure about my shallow reef build.

 

[Screwgunner]

That's alright not everyone can handle the big reefs.
