Anybody own own of these Tangs?

ich is the powder blue's best friend in captivity, be careful.

 

i used to frequent nano-reef.com and i remember one person caring for that tang. although i think they were disappointed to find out the fish wasn't "reef-safe" as stated on the website. the tang was constantly picking at his zoanthids and even took a nibble or two at his maxima.

 

Can't be any worse than the thug Coral Beauty it is replacing!

 

All Angel are unpredictable and not be trusted, I had a Dwarf Keyhole Angel that was a model citizen for 6 month and all of the sudden he decided that my frogspawn was going to be todays main course. I feed him and the PowderBrownTang Nori and Seaweed select algea strips on a regular basis and he was still not content. Torn my 120 gal apart with 120lbs rock to get him out to QT ( PITA) and sold him!

 

Is that your Tang in the Avatar?

I got some pics coming..

 

My LFS just got some of those tangs in last week. They look very nice.

 

Yes that's one of my fishes, But becareful they are ick magnets the Powderblue tangs when they are stress.

 

What do you feed your powder blue? How old is the one in the pic?

 

Hi Covey I had him for almost a year and he gets along with my PowderBrown Tang They are buddies. I feed the tangs Nori every 2nd day, cyclopeeze, mysis, baby brine shrimp ( not too much, only when feeding the coral because it's like popcorn to a fish ), flakes, ( at first both tangs didn't eat flakes until they saw the clowns and goby's amd Royal gamma go crazy for it and after 2 weeks started to eat flakes ).

 

I've kept Tomi tangs, they're one of my favorites and one of the hardier tangs out there. To bad you passed it up.
