Atlantic Blue Tangs

[Cutiewitbooty]

I really love these fish, think i can have one in my 25gal I'm just joking, don't flame me lol But seriously they are my favorite tang and since i can't have one i was wondering if anyone had pictures of theirs so i could admire it

Is this what you are looking for? I found this on google

here is my tang:
Spotted Unicornfish (Naso brevirostris)

 

[Cutiewitbooty]

yeah thats the tang i want to see pics of. I was just hopeing to see some RC member's atlantics. Thats a really nice Spotted Unicorn though, how big is he?

 

[hogpark7430]

thanks he is about 7". I have some blue tang shots from diving that I will try to dig up for you.

 

[Cutiewitbooty]

yeah that would be awesome, i always love diving shots, love seeing fish in their natural environments.

Here is a pic i found a while ago that i thought was awesome of some powder blues.

is it me.. or does that pic look photoshopped.... im not saying u did Cutie though..

 

[Cutiewitbooty]

why do you think it's photoshopped? (i didn't take it so i wouldn't know 100%)

 

[hogpark7430]

I don't think it is, it might just be a wide angle lens. I haven't seen PB school like that but I have seen convict tangs school like that.

 

[Cutiewitbooty]

i think the phot is by superstock or something like that, so i doubt it's photoshopped.

Atlantic blue tangs school like that, I have seen hundreds of them school when snorkeling in the Caribbean. Way cool fish, I will get one when I get a bigger tank.

wow cool! To bad it wasn't a bigger pic That is awesome though, they are all differnt shades of blue, but i guess that could be the lighting

 

[Obi-dad]

Not just the lighting, in the wild they can change their color at will - I have followed them around while snorkeling, and they will go from light blue to dark and back as you follow them.

 

[Cutiewitbooty]

wow thats cool

I had one a while back but it died during the blackout after Wilma. Its in my pics.. I got him yellow and he turned a dark blue....

Hey cutie. I don;t have picture of them right now, but I do have to say that teh Atlantic Blue is a beautiful fish. Wait until you dive with them and you will defenetly love them.

Here in PR it si one of the most abundant tang, the other one wish I don't remember the name is not that beautiful, It is bigger with the same shape but has a light tan color.

I'll try to post some of the picture I took on my last dive in. Most of atlatci tang were juvenile but even cuter with that yellow and blue color. Some thing I like about the juvenile is that they don't get scare fast. you car swim as close as 2' away from them and they don't mind. And even when they get scare they stay close to you.

I have one that won't turn blue? Any one know why? I've had him for about three years.
