tang

What’s up everyone, I just purchased a 3-4 inch Achilles tang which is currently in quarantine. Any long term Achilles tang owners out there? I’ve got 3 tangs that are 100% quarantined with prazi and copper and have been sitting in my 75 gallon holding tank along with 3 wrasses waiting for my...

Hey folks! I’ve got a 55 gallon set up as a peninsula. The tank is about 4 months old, and my question today is: can you have too much rock? I am worried that my tank won’t allow enough swimming room for additional fish, as I’ve already seen some minor aggression (territorial, clowns chase goby...

I bought this “Blue Eyed” Kole Tang at my LFS and apon bringing him home he has a lot of red in him, not a bad red a coloration of red, I was thinking it’s a Chevron Tang but that would be way too good to be true considering I only paid 40$ for the fish. Let me know, thanks.

Hey guys, I have a Yellow tang that is in a 20G QT with two small clowns and is very unhappy. She has what looks like ich on her fin and eye, torn dorsal fin, and these . I treated them with Praziquantel for 8 days, they have been treated with "Coper Power" at 2.0ppm for two weeks now. She eats...

Backstory So I’m working on a youtube documentary on why you shouldn’t support Petco. When I was visiting stores to record videos, I found a severely hurt Hippo tang that was on the edge of death. It was pretty obvious the 2 large Clarkis were beating her up even took a chunk of her tail off...

Hello Reef2reef community! I wanted to start a thread pertaining to a research paper that I found online about C.irritans and a potential treatment option. Here is a link to the document -> https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6344632/pdf/AEM.01982-18.pdf In their abstract, they...

M/L yellow tang very healthy have had it for 1.5 years. It eats great and has no disease. $60

I was wondering does anyone have any information or knowledge about these guys. They seem like they stay relatively small, so could i put one in a 90g?

I recently started a 40g(48x18x12) (have a frag rack on one side and rockwork on the other) and am looking into getting a tang, I have a yellow watchman goby and lawnmower blenny in quarantine to go in soon once it is fully cycled and not much else will be added. Does anybody know how long a...

Hey guys, Parting out my tank. I have a very healthy and large 4-5in yellow tang. Raised in a large tank. Good peaceful community fish. He has no history of ich, velvet etc. Has always been healthy and active, on a diet of seaweed and general flake food. Posted below are pics of him eating and...

Hello reef2reef community! Thank you for clicking and helping me out with this problem. I currently have a naso tang and a purple tang which seems to have gotten ich. The naso tang came from liveaquaria so I believed that they have already quarantined the fish for parasites and chose not to do a...

Hi, I wonder, If any one can help me identify a Tang , is this a Scopus Tang ? Thanks Brad

Hey guys. I got an 130 gallon reef tank and I would like to add another tang. I already got the tomini tang and the mimic tang. Would be nice if someone who got both could tell me with which tang they get along :) Thx

Looking to trade my healthy, active purple tang (4 inches) for some coral. The reason I am offering him up is because I went tang crazy with a 75 gal that has a blue hippo and yellow tang. The yellow an purple do not get along very well. I'm interested in stocking up on the following coral...

I’ve just acquired a 5ft long 3 foot wide tank , it’s a shallow frag tank design and planning on using it as a tank for all my zoa and LPS frags. Looking to get a tang or two solely for algae control and wondering what everyone recommends ? Purple tangs are my all time favourite fish but if they...

Just curious is anyone else has seen this or can shed some light on it. A while back I picked up an atlantic blue tang that was going through transition (blue body, yellow tail). While in qt the tang reverted back to its juvenile colors and has shown no sign of transitioning. Fish is healthy no...

Hi everyone, I bought this yellow tang yesterday from my lfs, I have noticed a slightly discoloured patch on his bottom fin. He is eating good already, picking at the rocks, eating pellets and also frozen foods. He doesn't seem to scratch at the rocks and seems happy and swimming up to now. My...

I got a Whitetail Bristletooth Tang from LA's Diver's Den. It arrived yesterday and I put him in QT tank. It swam around for a few minutes and then has been hiding in the PVC ever since. I kept the lights out and so I didn't get to observe it all that well, but I didn't notice it breathing...

I’ve had my tang for 3 weeks now & it’s been fine. It’s still swimming fine, eating good, not acting unusual at all. I’m feeding it seaweed with garlic & he has a great appetite as you can see in the video. I’m suspecting this to be ich but all my other fish look fine & don’t have anything...

I know I'm probably going to get some hate for this but... I don't feed my tangs seaweed. I was told that spirulina brine shrimp would be a good alternative to feeding seaweed and I've been adding that to their diet on a daily basis for the past 3 years and my sailfin, scopas, and yellow tangs...

I’m gonna try and make this short, but it’s been a long journey. Mae started our 75gal in June, it was cycled and started slowly adding fish in July. In September we noticed several of our fish had white spots which we believe to be ICH and our LFS (where we purchased all fish) gave us some...

Have had this tang in quarantine for a few weeks now yesterday I noticed one little spot on it that looked like a scrape now today it looks like this. Any help would be appreciated so I can get this guy fixed up. Ammonia 0 ppm Nitrite 0 ppm Nitrate 10 ppm Salinity 1.024 Ph 7.9

My blind clown tang

Did my guy just run up against a rock or is something else going on? Swimming and eating fine. Thanks.
