As far as I know they have always been called Tongs and they are in Whittier not Brea.

I just thought it was strange how crazy it goes when those are put in for food. It's like a totally different fish.

My blue tang is currently about 2.5 inches long and I've had him for about 2 months now. He is in a 150G tank with a porc puffer, foxface and a bicolor angel. He is currently the smallest in the tank(though not by much) My question is this...I've read in books and on this site plus other that...

Compared to most fish stores, yes. They also offer a nice selection for reef tanks and they have a pretty good selection of tanks and equipment.

It says Tongs on the front. The last few times I was there the tanks were all very clean and the fish looked healthy. The staff that I talked to seemed very friendly and knowledgable.

Tong's Tropical Fish & Pets on Whittier Blvd in Whittier is another great store.

Mine was extremely shy for a couple of weeks and now he is at times very active. Just give him time to get used to his surroundings and people who take care of him. Mine will only accept handfed food from me.

Welcome to the boards. I read in a book or a website at one time that they can get to be about 5-6 feet in length. I really wanted one until I read this and then I changed my mine fast. Sorry to say it will probably outgrow almost any tank you have. Good luck though.

I have mine is a 150G tank. I love the way he manages to change colors at the drop of a hat. After about a month he finally started to recgonize me and almost always come to the front. He is very peaceful with the others inth tank. He is a pig though and has basically doubled in size in the last...

I usually go to Global Aquatics. Its on the corner of Mission and San Carlos in Ontario between the 60 Fwy and the 10 Fwy. Sorry I can't find the address or phone # on their card right now. I try and find it and post it later.

Foxfaces do grow fast. I got mine when it was about 2-3 inches about 7 months ago and now it is around 5-6inches.

I have a foxface and a blue tang in my tank. The foxface is venomous but only shows his spines when spooked. The tang usually hides when I'm cleaning the tank. The foxface is very peacefull and even when my hand is near him he keeps his spines down.

Mine did the same thing when I got him. I thought maybe it was just exploring his new environment. Puffer are pretty intelligent and can recognize people. Try silversides soaked in garlic to get it started. Good luck.

Live sand also helped my base rock come alive.

Welcome to the boards and a very addictive hobby. I put about 60lbs of base rock and then about 80 lbs of live rock in my 150G. The LFS that helped me set it up gave me a discount on the rock because I bought so much at once. It was a big expense but I knew it before I started the tank. Good...

My porc puffer didnt eat for several days when I first got him too. Finally I got him to eat some garlic soaked silversides and since then no problem. Every now and then he will go to where he refuses all food for a few days but then acts like a little pig again. Good luck.

Two triggers in one tank, probably wont work. Two puffers, will probably depnd on the personalities of the puffers. Could work. Gook luck.

Check your post in fish discussion section.

My puffer hid in the corner for a few days too when I got him. Now he swims all over the tank. Juveniles seem to spook more easily. Mine fed off of a stick after a few days and now he is hand fed. I would not recommend a trigger. I put a niger trigger in with my puffer that was about half the...

My bicolor angel was a little agressive first but the puffer put him in his place. Now he gets along with all of them. He is a grazer. I had a problem with apistasia and he wiped it out in a matter of days. :thinking:
