Black tang lovers- where did you track yours down at?

[bobkill]

Hello all

Where did ever one that has a black tang track one down from? And what size was it ?

I have seen a couple on DD but they seem rather large

Also seen a couple on pia but not In a while

My local guy guy said he can get some but they would be 'large'

I am looking for a smaller sized one - <5 inch

Any Info would be aweso e

Thanks

Got one from pacificislandaquatics and it was 3.25". Price range is usually $500-550.

Got mine from a LFS around 3 years ago, it was the size of a quarter and is now 3"s. that year they seemed to be everywhere and all around a quarter to 50 cent piece sizes. I saw at least 10 that size in person. They should be around soon.

Blue Ribbon Koi (LFS) in Virginia gets them pretty regularly. May want to give John a call. Not sure if he ships regularly.

Awesome I watch the site

From what I've seen and I've seen a few, they are almost always large. Maybe it has to do with collection site or area you're in? GL when you get yours. They are beauties for sure!

I'm not even into black tangs, but the one on LADD is gorgeous!!

Divers den has one right now.

Mine has yet to form any silver/blue color on it. I honestly would prefer if it stayed all black. I only know of one that has stayed all black and is over 5"s. the other few I know of locally all have the streak. The one without has been in the same 300 gallon tank for 5 years or so now and with 3-4 other small fish. I guess it never gets stressed since its the king of the tank and it has been there since it was a quarter size.

Going to try to get a smaller guy first before I jump on a large one prefer to get 3inch or so

I will try my best - this hobby has taught me patients and the rewards from it
