I'm Looking for a New Tang

[saltyunderground]

My beloved mimic tang died this morning (I've had it a year.). It was fine 24 hours ago and had no apparent problems. It was breathing hard last night and poof, it's gone.

So I am looking for a new tang, and I would like to get one from someone locally who has had the fish for a while to avoid introducing diseases into my tank.

I have a 135g tank with no other tangs. I would like smaller rather than bigger fish. A freindly fish rather than a bully (no purple tangs or other more aggressive types).

Please let me know if you have a tang in the STL area looking for a new home.

Might have a Blue available. ABout 4 inches and very healthy.
Someone else was interested so I need to check with them first.

Tom

I do have a purple available as well and maybe a foxface.

Trying to lessen the bio load

What are you wanting for the purple tang, Tom? Although, I'm thinking it might not be a good idea to put him in with my scopas.
hmmm...


And what big plans do ya have for that setup of yours? You have some serious changes in the works, it seems. Don't tell me...you're going nano! :lol:

 

[Goalie66]

Just some simple changes Dave.

I have a 4" striatus that I'd be happy to give you (if you could figure out how to catch her).

She picks at my corals (both LPS and SPS)!!!

Purple and Scopas not a problem. They are best friend in my tank

Clark, thatclam's going to lose a lot of its color f i continues to be under tha ledge.

btw - tank looks good

 

[stlouisguy]

LOL i have to take him out of there about once a week. The engineer goby loves to dig next to him and he slides down into the space.

Thanks for reminding me, with the rock shift this week I had forgot to move him

 

[Shooter7]

Really? I was concerned about them both being zebrasoma and tearing into each other. You have a "bit" more room than I do, wonder if that makes any difference there?

Again, Tom, what do you want for him?

 

[Goalie66]

I'll PM you Dave, sorry to hijack the thread!

 

[JxMetal]

:lol: I see the engineer goby in the bottom right of the picture.

Good eyes BTW

Since this thread has gone off the tracks, I have decided you all must list your tangs with pictures, and I will choose the tang I wish to have. Dave, you go first. :fun2:

 

[saltyunderground]

catastrofe... I have an acrylic trap you can borrow. But don't bring that coral biter here.

 

[Shooter7]

It's not off track, it's just taking the scenic route getting to where you want it to go.


Right now, I just have my Scopas and sorry, don't have any decent pics of him.

 

[stlouisguy]

I have a blond naso, 2 yellow, scopus, and purple right now, want to add a few more
