New fish to the zoo

New today from a store that shall remain unnamed.
Regal Tang


This little guy was tank raised, eats very well and seems to be acclimating to the tank quite well. It ignores my Royal Gramma's attempts at intimidation.8) It is only about 1.5".

 

Cutie!! Congrats! Hope he does well for you.

 

Me too. I have always wanted one since the first time I saw one. This one is fat compared to most I have seen in stores and was picking off pods even while it was getting used to the tank. It has picked the upper left of my tank behind a power head as its home. It would venture out find something to eat and head back. It is now investigating the length of the tank.8)

 

I've always wanted one too. When I get a bigger tank I will for sure. They are so pretty!! Glad he's fat and happy

 

Your tank is fine for one if you do not have too much rock or are well stocked.

 

I agree, I have one in my 75 and he eats like a pig, colors are bold, and is very active. Having two small tangs in a 75 is a good way to be "forced" in to getting a larger tank. :

 

Haha sorry to hijack your thread!

I thought about getting one, but I don't think my current tang would play nice. He's pretty much a butthead. So when I upgrade!

 

Good plan

 

It's OK. I think you are doing the right thing if your current tang is so wonderful.;D

 

They are cool fish. when i got mine he was about that size. hes about 5" long now. I like buying them when they are small and watching them grow. Congrats on the new addition
