Juvi Chevron Tang

[gfox2]

At what size or age does a juvi chevron tang change to adult color?

 

[adamwheel]

I've only had one (still have him) and he began changing around 3" (within a year of purchase).

The adult coloration and patterns are spectacular just not bright orange-red.

Peaceful fish.

How big is he now?

Mine is about 4" and still has Juvi colors for the most part. I reckon this time next year it will have its adult colors though.

How long have you had him?How big was he went you bought him?

Had it for about 8 months. Has grown about an inch in that time. Buddy of mine has had many and they typically change between 4 and 5 inches. Adult colors are nice too though.

Do you have it in the 265?

Do you have it in the 265?

No, it's in my 90 gallon 'grow out' tank. I'm nervous about putting it into the 265 and getting beaten up by the resident tangs that are a mean and disagreeable bunch. Maybe it's big enough, and eating well enough, to take the plunge.

We have had one for 3 years - about every 6 months colors get darker

This is my third one and my fastest grower, It took him less than a year to lose his juvenile colors. He was darker as a juvey, and is darker as an adult. My first one took forever to lose his juvenile colors and I had him for close to 8 years only losing him to not properly QT another fish. My second one got super mean when becoming an adult, I found someone who had an aggressive tank. This one so far is doing okay. I think the food we have today versus ten years ago is so much better.

Mine looks like post #11 and I've had him for 1.5 years. It's about 4" and beautiful but brown in color with gorgeous markings. He's been in a DIY 178 gallon the whole time and doesn't seem to need the space my powder blue requires. Much less active.

Awesome fish. I love these. On the wishlist for some day.

Beautiful fish.

Not to hijack, but what is that orange and purple fish (front left corner) in the pic alton posted? It looks like a CBB with purple stripes.

 

[Bill Nye]

I think its a CBB that is just purple from the lighting.

It is a mixture of 14K LED and 6' VHO true actinic lamp and IPhone camera phone. One day I might buy a good camera. It looks more normal when MH is on (sorry about the hijack also)
