Thats good to hear.

Reeftanks6 · 07/21/2008, 07:19 AM

lol he has gotten a little weight but not much. I am feeding a little more just to fatten everyone up more. The convict is the only one thats skinny all my other fish are pretty well fattened up.

OrionN · 07/21/2008, 07:43 AM

He may have parasites in him. If he eats well for a month or two, he should have gain more weight. Good luck with him.

Reeftanks6 · 07/21/2008, 07:59 AM

Thanks i will see in a couple of weeks if he starts to fatten up.

Anyone? I guess I could go to Fishbase and count them all, but...

Reeftanks6 · 07/21/2008, 08:21 AM

ill take a guess and say 40

kar93 · 07/21/2008, 08:22 AM

In this thread I have counted 4 genus' but this is only up to page 22 of the first part. These are
Â·Acanthuridae - 12 species
Â·Naso - 4 species
Â·Zebrasoma - 5 species
Â·Ctenochaetas - 3 species

But there are more ,so in this thread there are around 24 species altogether that I have counted but like I say there are more.

Thanks! My guess is that it's over a hundred. WAY over...

Reeftanks6 · 07/21/2008, 08:24 AM

yea probabaly over a hundred.

Tang Salad · 07/21/2008, 08:27 AM

Well it looks like I'll need to do the busywork myself.
Here's just the Acanthurus list...

I'll count them when I get back from work today.

Reeftanks6 · 07/21/2008, 08:28 AM

Thats a lot but from looking real quick some of them are repeated unless there all different.

Tang Salad · 07/21/2008, 08:30 AM

Yes, many of those are repeats.

Reeftanks6 · 07/21/2008, 08:30 AM

so you cant count the repeats.

Reeftanks6 · 07/21/2008, 08:31 AM

Cause from what we can see we have no evidence that there different other then there name and the repeat thats there.

Tang Salad · 07/21/2008, 08:32 AM

Right.

According to Animal-world.com
"The Acanthuridae family consist of 6 genera and about 72 species. "

Reeftanks6 · 07/21/2008, 08:36 AM

wow thats a lot. So we got
Acanthuridae-75

Tang Salad · 07/21/2008, 08:38 AM

Did you just change your avatar...or am I seeing Tangs everywhere I look???

Reeftanks6 · 07/21/2008, 08:38 AM

for Zebrasoma i can think of off the top of my head are
Zebrasoma-6

Tang Salad · 07/21/2008, 08:39 AM

But the Zebrasome Genus is included in the Acanthuridae Family.

Reeftanks6 · 07/21/2008, 08:39 AM

lol Tang salad i just changed mt avatar lol.

Reeftanks6 · 07/21/2008, 08:40 AM

Tang salad i did not know that. What is the reason for that? Or is that just how where counting?

Aquarist007 · 07/21/2008, 08:45 AM

what I would suggest is an index to the page where a particular tang is shown here.
Alot of reefers would be interested in the page number of the thread because of the information and discussion going on about the particular tang

Reeftanks6 · 07/21/2008, 08:46 AM

agree.

kar93 · 07/21/2008, 08:46 AM

I'll be sure to do that to and I'll just put a big slideshow together of all of them, and a little movie too.
