    This fish does have an enormous appetite!! He acually reminds me a lot of a shark, and prevents a lot of other fish from eating. He is quite aggressive at feeding time!

    I agree with Jack on Cobia. It will get huge. Time to find a place to re-home it and quick I would think.

    Thanks for the help everyone! I decided it is a Remora or a Sharksucker. If you google Sharksucker or whitefin Sharksucker, it looks just like it!

    Where do you live? If you live near an ocean let it go if you know there are sharks in the area.

    If not give it to a local aqaurium that has a shark tank

    See if a local aquarium will take it. Definitely not good to keep it in a home tank.
