thanks Biffy !! i traded a mandarin for the Chevron AND Sohol Tangs. they both had MHLLE pretty bad but they are coming around. i doubt the Sohol will ever get to the display tank, but i can always leave him in the 8' frag tank.
i did the trade because they had MHLLE and the previous owner did not know how to get them back to good health. after a lot of reading i have made a change to their diet ... and WALAAA they are both coming around nicely. you could BARELY tell what the Sohol was. the Chevron was not as bad ... but he looks great now.
thanx bobby, everything is coming along nicely. i just added my second remote DSB to the sump so as soon as the bacteria establishes i might get 1 or 2 more fish, but not quite sure which one yet. any one have any suggestions ?? in the tank right now are these tankmates ...
Blue Hippo Tang
Purple Tang
Chevron Tang
2 Mis-barred True Perculas
Yellow Watchman/Pistol Shrimp
and ...
The Mandarin
i have been trying to get a Black Tang for a long time, but i can not justify that much money for one fish to my wife !! i will keep looking for a deal on one though.
anthias are great fish, but not really my cup of tea. i am more of a rare fish kind of guy. and before anyone suggests a Gem Tang ... i cant afford one !! lol
How about a nice colorful wrasse?There's so many beautiful ones,I don't know where to start.How about a McCosker's or Velvet Multicolor.I really like the Scott's Fairy.
How expensive are Black Tangs?
Aren't you in a little bit of a pickle?......rare=$$$$.
i dont think they are ugly, but i cant see spending THAT much of my hard earned money on 1 stinkin fish. i could have 2 more HUGE systems for that price !!
