Picked up a Fowleri Tang

[Zegg]

Well like the thread says picked up an awesome Forleri Tang(Horseshoe Tang) or Acanthurus fowleri Its massive... 12+ inches started eating right after acclimation.

My photos of him right after putting him in the tank... has colored up really nicly.

And just to see the size of this guy. Tank is 72*30*36 high

And ofcaorse liveaquaria has a good photo of what he looks like.

Beautiful. I've always loved these guys. In my opinion, the picture on LA doesn't do it justice.

I would rather not say the GF would end up killing me if she knew. I will say got a great deal on him and thats why I got him though.

That fish is going to need a longer tank. He isn't done growing.

lol i know.... all the other fish made this thing look huge.. needed one show size fish in there... So far he has been doing great.. eating mostly algae sheets and on occasion PE mysis.. Foxface and Rabbit try and "protect" the algae sheet to had to put in a second location for him to get som algae

Welcome to the Fowleri Family, here's your fish little brother! He's been my guest for about 7 months.

You definitely have a Prized Show fish.:beer:
