A Large Tank In Daytona Beach

Saltdog813 · 01/18/2010, 08:09 AM

I took a trip to Daytona this weekend for my lil one's Cheer Comp that they won State Champions I might add WOOO HOOO! But when we checked into our hotel the wife went in to get the room etc etc etc .. She yells out the door and points at something as she walks in the door. So I go check it out and in the lobby was a this!! As I sit there and look Im like forget the room WOW! Look at the size of this thing and the size of the fish!!

Look at the size of the Sohal Tang the Blondie is no joke either also there was a Niger Tang in with some huge red teeth sticking out of his mouth.But that other fish was the biggest in the tank I dont even know what that is.

The one in the first pic on the left I think he is talking about.

Just a guess but maybe a batfish, or an angel

Ya it was kinda cool the tank looked like a 250 but of course no body that was there knew. Some lady told me its was a 150. I was like naw thats not a 150 cause that tank is a bit bigger than the one I have.

It might be a Mono Sebae (Monodactylus sebae). It is a brackish water fish, looks almost identicle.

Pretty sweet! I would have done something other than those hideos fake coral arrangements though :/

Ya thats what I was thinking too that fake stuff in there made the tank look so cheap. Some LR would have been nice with a deepeer sand bed but hay its not mine so what ever floats ya know. I just wanted that S.Tang ha ha lol
