hey now, mine is a striking dark black almost all the time... I think it is nice, but my wife really wanted a all black one... so she got it...

Really black black, never seen one stay black. I have seen I think 1 picture where it looked like a fish I could have lived with but if you just do a google image search for they all are eh. Did you buy him as an adult?

No, I am just saying that a 75 is a ton better, and if you are lucky could cost about 2 times what an emporer 400 will cost you.

Yes, you could have them in the 55 as a grow out, and later move them to a bigger tank.

Emperor 400s cost 75 dollars? I can get one for 40 bucks.

I have never bought one new, but petco has them for 79.99 so I was going off of that price.

Wow. I just print it off of petsmart, take it in, and they price match it.

I get Emperor 400s for 42 dollars and Penguin 350s for 27 dollars.
