My new 600 gallon reef

Powder blue at the top, dussumieri in the middle and Thompsoni at the bottom (black one).

Jnarowe. can you post some pics of your yellow scopas? Is it a hybrid?

The dussumieri, probably my favorite tang....

Thank you, just the fish I am looking for (Shoulder Tang)

Dennis

Dennis,

You have to be careful abou tselecting any tang so here are my experiences with the orange shoulder:

1. peaceful
2. detritus eater :thumbsup:
3. massive turds.
4. gets quite large but seems to be a slower grower than most I have.
5. will make a nice meal when it all hits the fan.

I really don't know if it is a hybrid.

Here is a shot of it under stress (dark):

Here is a vid with it. It is the smaller of the "yellow" tangs. You can see it has a scopas shape but is very yellow when just cruising around. Very nearly as yellow as a yellow tang, but when stressed it turns dark rather than get the white line.

Cool fish man. I want one.

 

[jnarowe]

yeah, I was never a fan but I picked up the yellow scopas as a gift for a friend, but he had already gotten a yellow tang and couldn't take it. Then I saw the "regular" scopas at the LFS and it has a beautiful purple hue to it. Best looking specimen I have ever seen, and all of a sudden I have two fish I never was really interested in. I call it the CHUCK EFFECT, not to be confused with The Pattern.

Very funny

 

[jnarowe]

Most days it is frozen brine, mysis, and plankton. Every three or four days, I will feed flake food. Lots of nori for the tangs...

 

[Reeftanks6]

ok thanks. Also do you have a Tennent tang? If you do can i see some pictures please.

 

[rob1991]

wow absolutly stunning tank.

 

[tbittner]

Beautiful tank! I can't get over how many fish you have. One good thing, if the economy collapses, you'll have plenty of food for a while. :lol:

 

[jnarowe]

that ain't right dude.

 

[Reeftanks6]

I agree with jnarowe

 

[jnarowe]

Well, I was joking! :lol:

 

[tbittner]

So was I! :lol:

 

[j-soler]

hey Goodwin9 hope you get well soon that was a really knarly scar! i was once told that scars add character... if thats true you and i think it was luchbucket have quite a bit of character! you can definately lay claim to a spectacular collection of shrooms. ive never seen some of the ones you posted before. this just fueled my interest. if gas werent so expensive i would take the drive to give you a hand but then again it would be hard to use the excuse of "honey im going to buy some milk for the kids" and drive to south dakota instead!
