New arrival

[hogall]

Just pick them up from the Airport - The happy couple

In their temp home I guess I should've clean the tank first before taking the pixs

Nice What size?

 

[hogall]

Thanks; been waiting for them since May

The male is a little bit over 6"; the female is about 4". I was told the face don't turn blue till they get to 7+"

Is this right?

Nice fish. What size tank will they ultimately be living in?

They are going into a nano ocean

Roughly 718 Gallons (96" X 48" X 36")

From what I have read; they are suppose to be reef safe. So far so good

ROTFLMAO Yes, should be reef safe, but maybe not invertebrate safe. Gorgeous fish!!

The female is a bit mouthy; but she is pretty gently. I saw her transport a couple of my hermit crabs without any incident

The reason I was asking what size tank they are going into is because I have always wanted a pair myself but decided that a 225g was waaaaaaaaaaay too small for them since they need a lot of open swimming space and they get to be pretty big. Maybe once I upgrade to my next tank (500g), then I'll get to have them. Very nice fish and happy reefing.

Hi Tangwich,

I feel the same way; I want to make sure they have alot of open space to swim in. That is why the tank will be 36" tall. I know that don't come close to what they are use to; but it has to do for now

Triggers are some of my favorite fish. Especially Xanthichthys since they're planktivores.

Both of the black tangs require hourly feeding. I hope they both will grew big fast
