I have a 12" Vlamingi in my 220 and she is my favorite fish ever. There personality is like a dog. She even likes to be petted haha.

I am looking to upgrade soon to accommodate her. And just wondering who else has them

I have one roughly the same size in my 250. Awesome fish, and you are right about them being like a dog.

I think those and the Dussumieri are amazing fish! I gotta ask though...what does it take to keep a big fish like that fed!?

We had one for 4 years. From 1" to 6". We just passed him on to a bigger home, a 600 gal.

In bottom right of pic. And that was about a year ago in our 4' 120. Felt bad having him in there but like you said was just like a dog!

Sorry best pic I had on. My iPad....

Awesome to see so many others enjoying the Vlamingi

Does anyone else's like being petted like mine?

I love the colors. It's one of the fish you have to stop and look at to really appreciate the gold and blue hues.
