Holy Crap!!!! 0.0.. I take it that it didnt do so well?? I would think a fishtank does not have strong enough water pressure or something. damn, that was awesome tho.

wow did it live the aquarium? i researched about this fish and they are common in certain time of the year in some sea (i watched a youtube clip! lol).

though at this size, you should be able to put it in a very big marine species only tank! wow :)
