I just aquired a 24" remora from my friend. it out grew his tank and mine is bigger so he gave it to me. i would like to find it a good home but what should i do in the meantime? i know it eats krill and silversides but other than that i cant find any info. any help would be greatly appreciated. if anyone is interested in it i will split shipping in it with anyone who can give it a good home. it is blue and goldish yellow. very healthy looking fish. please help.

They're tough and eat like pigs! Keep it fed and it should be fine -- no special care needed.

IMO, a remora is pretty much like a shark. They require the same care and tank size requirements. They get to around 36" so be prepared to upgrade later on if you don't already have a big enough tank.

You might want to advertise in the selling section. I'm sure there is someone with a large tank that would take it off your hands.

Remora's arent that hard to take care of. I'd put them in an all shark tank, as they are shark suckers.

Mine eats brine shrimp anyway.
