    When I started hunting a whitetail bristletooth four years ago I had no idea how rare it actually was, but at long last I've got a couple in my care. They're young and don't have the bright red coloration yet, but they're already interesting to see. I'll definitely have update videos of these guys as they grow.

    What's the recommended tank size minimum for white whales?

    I believe 75 like any other kole type tang. I have a blue eye I keep in my 90 and I love the silly dude. Although he has a white tail instead of a yellow tail and has a slight red tint to him. Kinda odd looking if you as me.

    Anyways great find and buy! Wanted one and looked around forever for one. Couldn't find one that wasn't at a stupid price ($150 and up!).
