And if it does live, it will most likely be pretty mean

How big of a tank you have evil?

 

[evil]

he is in a 700 gal reef. a little guy in a big tank. the sohal is his good buddy so far.

What makes this fish hard to keep? I have thought about getting one.

It needs 8 to 10 feet of tank space. They can also be picky eaters and is supposed to be the most aggressive tang around. Mortality over 99% could be due to collection methods. THis on is from Fiji which supposed to have higher survival rate.

This two inch fish was plastered to the glass for the first 5 days then got brave and roam around the right quarter of the tank on day 6. Now on day 7 he's all over the tank and starting to chase damsel fish twice his size.

Pretty! Give him all kinds of love and keep us posted! I hope he lives for 20+ years!!

Mine was a perfect tank mate with the 4 other tangs in my 10 foot tank. That was until I added a purple tang 3 weeks ago. Now he picks on almost all of the other tangs and I will probably have to get rid of him. Really sucks cause I had this 8" guy for several years now and got him off of another reefer that had him for who knows how long. Sad day...

 

[evil]

now that the clown tang is roaming all around the tank, the sohal is no longer his buddy and wants to eat him. the sohal is 8 inch and 40 times his body mass. hope the clown knows how to hide.

 

[evil]

here he is roaming

I had one in my 6 foot 150g. Did great, however quickly grew out of the tank. Fastest fish I have ever seen. http://reefcentral.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=2863&pictureid=43892

Catastrophe hit my tank. The clown tang was doing perfectly eating well and getting along no sign of disease then the cleaning ladies tripped the breakers at 7 am and I had 8 dead fish by 5 pm when I get home. I want to fire those people. He was all set to cruise now he's dead.
