sorry guys i didnt want to seem so cruel about it. its just i dont have the money to set up a species tank for it plus no one would take it. i kept it for a while and then he turned aggressive and always tried to escape. he wasnt that big but delivered a huge impact on the environment. it was pretty much the only thing i could of done. i am not a cruel person its just my tank was being destroyed and im sure alot of you would have taken care of the problem too. i just didnt have anything else i could have done with it. i dont have any other tanks i can use for it i only have a 20gal. soon to be reef and a 30gal. but has alot of nice fish i dont want to be killed. i really had no other option... im sorry and im apologizing.
