Juvenile black tang

[DrBegalke]

Just thought I would share a pic of my juvenile Zebrasoma rostratum.

He is awesome and small.

Very nice. Will you be putting it with other tangs are they easy to keep and would they be ok with a Gem tang?

 

[Reef264]

Man!Nice fish!

He's a tiny fella, really nice. Where did you get it and for how much? I would love to get a juvi black tang but the price still seems high.

 

[DrBegalke]

I think he will go in with a blue tang, possibly a powder blue.
I wouldn't keep him with a gem or other Zebrasoma, although probably some people do.

I got him from an LFS during a black friday sell, for less then I've seen them for online... which right now is about $900.

You can get them all the time on PacificIslandAquatics for $400 to $450.

I'll have to put PIA on my list of websites to check when I'm looking for something.
Both LA and Blue Zoo Aquatics wanted $900.

from my lfs they just got one in for $499 and still think about

 

[DrBegalke]

How big is the one at your LFS?

Awesome fish. I have seen two of these in person before and they are beautiful fish. Absolutely one of my favorite tangs. Good luck with him.

 

[walvis]

They're cute when little.
Mine grew from 1.5" to 3"+ within 3mnds. time, definitely one of my favorite tangs...

Agreed. That is a great price at an LFS.

He is going to need a bigger tank!

Very nice I like them when their smaller than when you get them at like 9 inches

 

[DrBegalke]

Ken,
Are you sure? He looks pretty happy. LOL.

Dragon,
I agree, especially when you get to watch one <1" grow to adult size.

 

[Dragon moray ki]

If you don't mine me asking what size tank is he going in

 

[DrBegalke]

180, will be moving to something larger within a few years.

 

[patekphilippe]

at least 4-5 inches
