so I'm sure this thread has been made a million times and you've already heard things like this all before, but the other day at my job an elderly lady called me and asked if we sold dory fish for her grandson. I explained that we did but that I wouldn't be selling them for the next week due to the movie. She wanted more specifics about the blue tangs we sell and when I said how large they get she asked if we sell any that stay the size of a QUARTER. This lady obviously is out browsing for a blue tang but knows nothing about what she's getting herself into. Anyways! I made a video about blue tangs and tried to explain things like I was talking to a 5 year old.

I'm sure most people on here know about the blue tang but just in case any beginner aquarist are strolling around for a blue tang I highly recommend you look into what exactly you're thinking of getting, and hopefully choose something else haha.
Also, I'm speaking in layman's terms in this video. I did not use scientific names, or other sorts of terms that only hobbyist would recognize. So if expert fish keepers find things they don't 100% find accurate in this video understand my video was not to educate experts, but mere beginners who don't understand the basics of a blue tang.
