A. Meleagris has a fairly wide range.... See fishbase for details but they hail from far more places than xmas island. As I understand it, the "gold" level is more the stage or maturity of the...

Just remember that he'll want a 300 or so gallon when full grown.... Budget what that setup will run you and a timetable to save up for it on the front end.
