Juvenile black tang - Page 2

flameangel88 · 03/19/2012, 06:41 PM

Thanks for the reply and glad to hear its growing fast. I received a 1.5" black/scopas tang hybrid last Friday that I plan to pair down the road with the 3.25" I got last September.

Looking forward to your pictures.

I couldn't get a pic that conveyed a sense of size...

I did take a short video though:

The firefish at about 35 seconds are full grown.

Beautiful tang and tank you have there. Thanks for posting the update video.

DrBegalke · 03/20/2012, 09:51 PM

Thank you! Any pics of your hybrid tang?

The little one is still in the acclimation box and probably be ready to come out this weekend. Its very difficult to get a good pic in the box so I will work on getting some better one this weekend. She is slightly smaller than the suction cup on the acclimation box.

Nice looking fish! She'll grow fast I'm sure.

I was a little worried about mine being so small, in with larger angels and tangs... but she definitely held her own.

Your tang looks happy and beautiful in your tank. Very nice fish!

The little one came out of acclimation box and here's a better picture.

The tang is sweet but I really dig that angel.

flameangel88 · 04/07/2012, 06:52 AM

After getting tail whipped the first day she has settled in nicely. She swims around the entire tank but the flow may be a bit too strong for her where the powerhead aims toward.

black tangs must be in season. DD has a couple(just sold 1 i think) and my LFS has a big show size one.

flameangel88 · 04/07/2012, 07:15 AM

Not sure about "in season" but I've been see seeing a steady supply from PIA. Late last Fall was the best price I've seen and price have been steadily gone up. A reefer in Cali is selling a 4 or 4.5" one $350 but for local pick up. If I local I would have pick that one up.

geaux xman · 04/07/2012, 07:23 AM

NYAquatics has one too.

I would certainly pick up a 4" one for $350. Not $6-700+.
