No tankmates, lives alone in a 40B. Ive always wanted to try and replicate a bit more of a slice of nature and try some small schooling fish like white clouds in with him if he were in at least a 75g. The general thought from everyone was that he would likely eat them off. lol

I feel the photo should be made into a meme. Photoshop him going at a burger and the the words "Can I haz cheezburger?" written on it!
