I love guys that do things against the grain, and dont care about everyone telling him he cant do something. People get so hung up on thier opinions. The man has experience doing something, WITH SUCCESS. He is sharing his experience. I think its great. I have been fortunate enough to escape an ich outbreak, but I will definitely keep garlic in the back of my mind just in case. What could it hurt?
Good luck with the fish and tank! Please post some more pics of him when he's fat & healthy!!!!!

Just got away from wife and kids for a bit. I am not @ my house so I cant take pictures and all the pictures of the blue tang are on my Home PC. But, I am going to check to see if I uploaded some on my kodak webpage. It will be a old picture. I will have to mail you a invite to you VIA email for you to view the personal pictures that are on there.
Kau_cinta, Most people do not respond too a post you makes within 1 hour and 4 mins. So dont go talking CRAP when people do not have time to respond. I did not say the Tang was WORTH $250. I have been offered that. I Don't like people to shove words in my mouth. If you have read this and my other post you would know that by now. You would also know I am out of town.
Moontang, Are you just trying to get 50 post so you can BUY/Sale/trade? Get the facts before you go name calling.
I do not post here to get flamed. I post here to help and get help.
P.S the tang is about 5 years old and eats from my had. He also likes me to scrach his head. I made a post about a year ago on SWF.com about my frendly tang. People really loved the ideal of a big fish and the pictures I took of him eating from my hand and acting like a cat and loving on me.
The reason the guy offered so much is because he read my post and was amazed. He has a 300 gallon and wanted a BIG Fish that he could hand feed that was more like a pet than a fish. He just offered that. I did not take it because The blue tang is my wifes fav. fish. Does my explanation make you feel better? Please don't ASSuME things. Spell the word out and you will see what you just made yourselfs look like.
I do not like people flamming me. There is a diffrence in someone asking to see a picture of something because they have not seen it, or do not know the reason behind it. And a person who just spouts at the mouth and totally disregards anyones feelings is being a Jerk IMO.
If you want to be a jerk do not post on my threads. If I took one of the 2 of you wrong way I am sorry.

i am not flamming you I just asked to see a pic. of the 250.00 fish. I didn't say you said it was worth that much but someone offered that much so that makes it worth that much. so as much as you hate ppl putting words into your mouth, stop putting words in mine.
I have a half zoa half shroom morph that I was offered 300.00 for it. it is the same thing. things are only really worth as much as ppl will buy it for.
sorry if I sounded like I was flamming you but I wasn't. just wanted to see a pic. of the beautiful fish.

I agree with Kris, using words like "so called" and "thats what I thought" sounds more like a grade schooler argument than a request from another interested hobbyist to see a picture of an cool fish. You sound like an irrogant [profanity].
As a side note, I have used garlic also and it has worked well to help rid a fish of ich.

Even if i stated that comment so what...... Was it to you?? NO
What your trying to tell people is unreal. What if i said that i sold a super healthy percula clownfish for 250 to some guy. You wouldn't think that guy is dumb???
The hell am i gonna do once i get 50 posts. For your information i live in CANADA.
Anyways thought you were away from home how much you keep popping up in here. So wheres the new pics of the naso or did he past away.

Moontang, no matter who the comment was directed to it did appear to be insulting someone. Flybynight asks that flamming not be done. Reef Central is not the place to personaly attack others comments. If you find the price increduous, ask why that price was quoted. Personally, the price makes more sense when explained. I can see someone who has lots of money to spare wanting a tang that can be petted. You or I may think a person dumb for offering that much for the fish, but people do stuff like that all the time. Please, as metioned before, no negative personal attacks. Keep things in a constructive manner. Disagree or agree, but do so respectfully.

Sorry but his personal comment posted early was totally disrespectful and your saying i'm flaming. Just because it's his thread doesn't mean whatever he says goes.
Moontang, Are you just trying to get 50 post so you can BUY/Sale/trade? Get the facts before you go name calling.
What you call that?? The thing is if he was really smart he would have looked at my profile and saw that i registered in JUN2006 and only have 45 posts in total.
Like kau_cinta_ku asked where's a picture of this fish. Anybody that has a fish that they are so proud of would have plenty of pictures especially if they could pet it. No?? I know i would ask my wife to take some pictures of me doing it.

Moon, You do have a point with the 50 posts comment.
I too want to see a picture. However, I do understand if someone is not at home. With that said, Fly, when do you think you will be able to get pictures posted? The tang did look very skinny and I'd like to see the progress. I really do hope it is doing well.

Blah blah blah....
So how's the Naso doing? Would love to hear it's still recovering. If a sick fish is eating it's generally a sign they will beat whatever they have.
Re: Garlic-- there is no proof that garlic does anything to boost immune system in fish. What it does tend to do is stimulate feeding/appetite. Fish seem to like it just like people. As I said before, a fish that's eating will have a stronger immune system, which means they will much better chance of recovering from disease or injury, so the truth about garlic lies probably somewhere in the middle between "miracle cure" and "worthless." Good luck with the Naso!

It did not look like the fish ever had ick. The Naso is a shy fish and the white spots naturally appear when they are scared....At least in the juveniles.
My Naso still spots during light changes and he is a very healthy juvenile fish. Mine loves strips of dried brown or green algae and also nibbles on the spirulina being fed to his tank mates.
I have a false percula that had ick show up shortly after bringin him home. I soaked his food in garlic daily and the ick was gone in a few days and has never returned. Now i soak all my fishes food in garlic once or twice a week just for the heck of it. I figure it cant hurt.
Good luck with the Naso...They are beautiful fish.

You know Moon you are right. I should not have said that and I did assume you where trying to get 50 post and be funny or what ever while doing it. I mean why else would a person pop in and say what you said?
I did say I was sorry if I took you wrong. So here is another sorry I am sorry for making the post about your just trying to get 50 post. BUT, You are still the jerk. The reason is you started off flaming me. When you made a repost you had nothing to say but bad and how everyone else is wrong. You have still not said you are sorry for being a jerk. That is the diffrence between me and you. I will stand up and say sorry. You are immature and just want to talk crap till no one even reads what you say. SO when I am faced with people like you I just say sorry for what for my wrong doings (and mean it) and turn my head and watch you destroy your credibility. Good Luck and God Bless =-)
P. S. I do have pictures from when I first got the fish if you would read. I said I would send a invite from my kodak webpage. I will take some new pictures so you can see I still have the fish.
If you want to flame from now on I will not even notice you are arround. If you want to say sorry and drop it we can be friends. Up to you.

Ok, I am home. I had to reply to moon first so I can sit and think about what I found when I got home.
Here we go. My brother said the whole time I have been gone that Everything is growing FAST. He said I was going to be happy. Well, I walked in and the first thing I did is go look at my frag tank where the Tang is. OMG There is brown algae EVERYWHERE. IT IS FREAKING HUGE. I called him and went over the list and what he did/added to my tank. He said he was feeding and adding like I told him. Well, I looked at the food and almost The whole can is gone. Then I asked about the Garlic. And where was it @? He said I ran out. I was like WHAT? I had a 32 oz bottle and a 16 or so oz bottle half full. He use All the 16 oz and like a 1/4 of the 32? He just dumped a bit in without mesuring. So I tested my tank and Everything is off. Cal, alk, are low. Eveything else is High. Not real bad but high. I will NEVER let anyone take care of my tank again.
Ok, you want to know about the Tang and my frags? I lost 2 frags of Ring of fire.(about 25 poylps) Everything else looks Really good but a few Green implosions that are covered in Alage. I can even see them. The fish Looks FAT as crazy. He still has some spots but he has a lot better color now. The ick/spots are still there. But there is nothing on any of his fins. Just on his body. Anyway here are the pictures everyone has been waiting for + some shots of the Algae. Good thing my Main Tank is almost hands free or I would hate to see what my brother would have did to it.

I am going to move everything to my main tank till I can get my frag tank fixed.
How do I get this algae out of my tank? Maybe I need make a new post.
