    The LFS about an hour away fired the old guy who ran their saltwater for letting the salinity get waaay out of hand, 1.03+ and killing their fish. The "new guy" the owner's son has a kole tang in their 29 gal bio cube. I said wow is that a new mini-tang for nanos? "What?" was his reply.

    How big is the tang? I had 2 in a 55 but they were small and I was planning on upgrading to my 125 so they weren't in the 55 to long

    Sounds like they are going to have the same issue on their hands, just in a different way lol.

    It was around 3" but still this is just telling every uninformed customer that comes in there "put a tang in whatever". Plus it is the stores tank, they dont sell out of it.

    My lfs has an Achilles that's at least 6 inches in a 30 gal tank and there asking $300 for the fish. Unfortunately it might be there a while

    Wow I would love an Achilles, but for $300. NO WAY! I would put in a whole new tank just to keep one.
