With all due respect - the statement is humorous.

As humans we have been changed from living off the land to going down the road and easily getting food if i was to throw you into the middle of nowhere odds are you will die from starvation.. So yes they cannot relearn how to hunt again and most likely they will die of starvation.. Im sure they has been cases where the animal survives and thrives but odds are agaisnt that..

Hey Absint Reefer, is this going to be only Butterflies then? In the pic it looks like maybe there is a Wrasse in the tank as well. Kind of lower part of the tank to the left.

ya that's my tusk don't have the heart to boot him out yet till he is big enough to go in the 150gl so all butterflies and a tusk and yes it is a 55gl for now. Not sure about the stock list I know I want pyramid and falcula but I'll just go with the flow I want to add everything real slow
