tangs

Hi, I would like to sell my 4-5 inch Purple tang. It is a beautiful healthy active fish. Just a bit too active for my tank. I would like 200$ for it or trade for euphyllia type coral. Unfortunately I will not be able to ship. I hv never shipped before and don’t want this to b my first time. I...

Hi guys I currently have a 4X2.5X2.5 165 gallon (DT volume) tank and was wondering if I would be able to add another tang. Considering my tank is only 4ft long are there any tangs people could recommend? I would like to be able to keep the tang until its adult size I was going to add a yellow...

Hi all, I'm new on here & have recently rescued a 100g tank that that was in neglect, came w two awesome fish 1 sailfin, 6-7" & 1 royal blue tang 4-5" wich are obviously too big for the tank & need to find better homes, my goal was/is to help these fish have better/happier lives, I've had these...

Hi guys I currently have a 160 gallon 4ft long reef tank with the stocking listed below. I would like to also purchase a yellow and tomini tang but am unsure if this would be over stocking the tank. Nitrates and phosphates dont appear to be an issue as they're both reading 0 although I do still...

I got this little guy about two months ago from a local pet shop that I won’t name. He was gasping and laying on the bottom of the tank getting ready to die. After a long ordeal of antibiotics and prazi I’m happy to say he’s now in great health! Only problem is I have no idea what kind of tang...

Happy holidays Reefers, I wanted to just get a sanity check on my tang stocking plan for my upcoming tank upgrade I currently have a marine land 90 gallon with a single Yellow Tang along with some other tank mates standard clowns, six line 4 choms. Im going to be upgrading to a waterbox 7225...

Was sold as an ocean surgeon fish but seems to match an orange shoulder with a spot above dorsal fin and blue along anal fins

Please help me ID my fish. Bought fish as a Fowerli Tang. And I'm pretty sure he isn't unless they develop there horseshoe later on and lose the spots on the tail. I'm in between a Bariene Tang and a Dussumieri Tang. The fish is around 3" I'm going to let him destress for a few days but wanted...

Looking for advice, I started with a 32 Biocube that came with a Blue Tang, knowing it would need a bigger tank I just picked up an established 90 gallon to give it more space. She is still small about 2 inches. I really would like to add at least another tang like a Powder Brown Tang. I will...

What food should i feed my fish? i currently feed ocean nutrition formula two, frozen mysis and brine shrimp, and nori sheets for my tangs. I tried to look it up online but there are sooooo many different brands and stuff. should i feed flakes and or pellets? What else should i feed. Fish: 3...

I’ve been in the feeding hobby since I was 16. While most kids begged for a puppy I somehow convinced my parents to buy a 75 gallon saltwater tank instead. You might say that tank was a failure, but I fell in love with the hobby during those two years of heartache and frustration. 2 years ago I...

Hello, So i have a bad ich outbreak. My blue tang, yellow tang, coral beauty, and dwarf lion fish all have ich. My other fish 2 clowns, and eel, and these two blue fish but non of them have ich. So i had a couple of questions: If i remove all my fish from my DT to my QT ( I read for 3-8...

I have read nothing but horror stories about PBTs and would love to hear any success stories. Against my better judgment, my daughter talked me into ordering one from Diver's Den. I will be putting it in my QT for a 6 weeks before adding it to my DT. I have an established 180 gallon with a...

They’ll only be spending 1-2 months in the tank but still I want them to have enough room.

I put this in the newbie section since it's probably a stupid newbie question. I just finished my QT period. Matched salinity and temperature of the QT to my DT, and added my yellow tang directly in. He looked a bit distressed upon entry to the DT and has no gone into hiding in the rocks. Is...

Hello All, I have been following the QT process outlined by @Humblefish. I have a 20G Tall that I am running copper power at 2.5ppm for 14 days. Dosing General Cure 6 days apart. After 14 Days I have a 40 Gallon tank next to my office desk that I observe them in. There is also a Black Molly...

Hey everyone, so I have done extensive research on ich and velvet. I made the mistake of not QTing a Powder Blue Tang (yes, I learned my lesson) and him and my hippo tang got ick. Long story short i set up two hospital tanks to treat all fish: 1. 55 gallon I’m using cupramine 2. A 29 gallon I’m...

Hi guys! I’m a FOT hobbyist from Hong Kong. Recently I bought this Tang from a LFS and am not quite sure which species it belongs to. It’s about 1 penny large only but seems to me it mingles pretty well with other larger tenures of my tank so far. Is it a Acanthurus Dussermeri? Or a Acanthurus...

Hi R2R friends, We're thinking about adding a tang to our 100g tank to combat the hair algae showing up in the tank, we have snails but thought a more active eater would help. Want to get some thoughts from the community on these two tangs Does anyone have experience with them? I'm...

Can someone please ID this fish ? Not Dussumieri. As you can see the Dussumieri attack the imposter.

What are the main differences in the types of nori we feed our tanks? I've seen green as a sort of daily feeder, red/purple as one you use to fatten up a weak fish, and not sure about what brown is for. Does anyone have a breakdown of what these different types of nori are actually used for?

No tang police please, this is just the qt tank. Will be going into a much larger one soon. Can't tell if this is a Razor Surgeon or a Yellowtail. As its a juvenile, will his color change as he ages? Don't believe there will be any issues with my Kole tang but want to verify.

I love tangs and I would love to have one of every genus eventually. I am wondering what experience people have with the Prionurus genus. I am specifically interested in P. Biafraensis and P. Chrysirus because they are tropical species and smaller. Pictures welcomed!

Thank you first off for reading and your possible help in this situation! I am getting a 125gal set up. Right now just going over some fish just so I can have a mock plan for the future. Will not be getting any fish till at least 2 months or more from now, as I will be doing a very deep clean...
