Can someone help with the ID of this fish.

Sweet lips, needs a large tank in the long run. That is a juvenile.

Oriental sweetlips. They change dramatically when they get larger and get quite big.

How big of a tank is needed for one to live comfortable.

 

[kschweer]

They can grow to 2 feet+, I believe a tank of 400g or larger is recommended for them when fully grown. From my understanding they can grow fairly quickly.

Blue Zoo states 125 gallon min, but I would say 150 gal min, they grow into a very large fish.

You should be alright for a little while man.When he starts getting big,trade him off for credit or something else just as cool

As long as you think you will be able to catch him when the time comes this could work.
