harliquin tusk fish???

opinion on a harli tusk fish please ... i found 1 cheap and my friend really likes them....would be with a valintini puffer damsels and an algae blenny. its a 90 tank only afew leather corals. thanks guys

 

have one in the tank here at penn state... its a very docile and great fish!
They are predators of inverts but we have had a purple spiny lobster in there for a long time and it hasnt bothered it.
LOVE the color and laid back personality tho

 

theres only afew snail/hermits so im not to worried bout them....thats 1 vote for

 

One of my favorite wrasses

 

A good friend has one. It completely tore apart a Majestic Angle.
I then when to a LFS and turned to look at a tank only to catch one take the head off a small yellow tang.

I have known 2 that where perfect tank mates. But they can get very aggressive

J

 

o my yellow tang a coral beauty were on the tank mate list hmm

 

guess its just luck of the draw then... have a yellow, purple, 2 kole, hippo, powderblue, blonde naso, harem of anthias, mated pair of bandits, 7 clowns, emperor angel, 3 flames, 2 wrasses, scooter blenny, a few gobies, hawkfish, harliqun tusk, and three damsels...

only aggression is when the yellow tang decides to start something with the powder blue or purple. The tusk is always on the best of behavior...

 

o man.... i know he is in the tank with a yellow and purple tang at the store.....hmmm he was $80 and a pretty good size probably between 4 and 5 inches

 

Yep. Every one that I ever had at the shop was so mild and easy going. With that said, I've heard of others who have had them that are more like Jason's description.

 

well i think we are gonna roll the dice with it for $80 and he will be the biggest thing in the tank sofar. so worst case he takes out smaller cheaper fish .... well ill tell myself that to put my mind more at ease lol
