VERY nice!!
 
I doubt the fish care about that. Im serious about this question, because I have actually had some Rods food for a long time and wonder if I should not be using it anymore because of "freezer burn"

I've got a batch of food that's been in the freezer almost 18 months, it's got some freezer burn on there. I still feed it to the fish and LPS and everything is just fine.
 
Here is my dussu tang picture I took this weekend. He is trying to tell the emperor to move his butt out of the way.

WOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!! Its GORGEOUS!!!:eek2: :eek2: How much do they go for? Like $150 or so?
 
Dussu just depends where you get them from, I think they are the most expensive out of Australia.

I got mine direct from Hawaii, it was somewhere below $100, I cant remember exactly. It came in at 6-6.5" and now it is pushing 8". I need to get out a ruler and measure him better.

Keep in mind I'm using a flash. It does tend to bring out the coloration of the fish just a little more than is natural but it is very close to the same coloration.

The main color difference I notice is the blue line across the bottom of the unpaired fin, it is standing out like neon blue whereas in real life it looks more like a mix between that blue color and the dark blue of the tail.

Dont you just love the tail of that fish? I sure do. I wish it would get streamers, it looks like it wants to :)

Nice!!

I LOVE the coloration of the tail and the hole fish! :lol:

Also, do you have a link to your diary thread? What are the tank dimensions of the tank that the tang is in?

My main thread I've got going is in the FOWLR forums, here is the link.

The tank dimensions are just a standard 210 gallon, 6 feet wide, 2 feet deep and 29" tall.

I'll definitely need an upgrade someday, but for now everyone is happy.
