I tend to agree with this, from everything I have read they don't do well when you get them and they are tiny. I'd spend a little more and get a bigger one.

WOW, just read they're selling 3/4" tangs, is that right?
Mine was about 1 1/2" when i got him from the LFS, now i dont feel so bad

I have seena tiny blue tang at my lfs. He was soooooooooo small!!! I was going to buy it but it was $50! So I got a 2 inch one and another store for the same price

After the disappearence of my tiny (snack size) hippo on tuesday. I have pulled everything out of my tank rocks and all and have found NOTHING!! So I guess my snails and a couple of small hermites 1/4 did his body in. It sadens me. He was small and cute but didn't last a day. Do you think SWF will do anything?? Please let me know your feelings

SWF took care of me they ARE AWESOME. Next time I will order a larger one not the tiny.
