Yeah he wants to keep the huge thing, that size i told him to wear some elbow length gloves and just grab it, he wants to set up a tank for it, i told him he is crazy i freak on the inch long ones, let alone a 2 foot one. goes to show what poor mainteance and up keep cause, he told me when he got the tank you could hardly see the fish in the tank. poor little guys they are much happier since he got the tank and is tanking care of it, speaking of which the black and white fish what is it he doesn't know and neither do i?
