Tim - he is absolutely gorgeous!! I am so jelous right now. The colors are actually spot on. The true black tang has greyish green in it as it matures it darkens.
I am stunned with the size of him. He looks to be about 5-6"? I cant wait to hear how he is in your tank. I want to add one eventually.
Congrats!

That picture of the avatar with the hypnotic is the funniest thing. campbell this fish is 7+. Almost a little to big. People have told me pictures of adult black tangs do them no justice. Well now I understand. That grey in the pics is really a blue sheen. Really cool. His names Pinnochio.

Here's one more that I took earlier before turning the light off. The PBT who is half its size tried to give him hell but the black after 30 seconds gave him a little caudal shake and that was that. Thanks all, Tim

Awesome black tang, I would not have the guts to buy one
So what were you thinking when fed-ex was late just waiting to see how your really pricey fish was doing? Nervous?

Yes I was nervous, but I knew the fish was packed with the utmost care. The fish was in a 26" bag with 7 gallons of water with 5 heat packs. The box weighed almost 60lbs. my only concern was they lost the package or that it was going to be in the bag for another day. The water was 76 degrees. So all was well. I'll be sure to to post more pics tonight of the new guy. Regards, Tim

Well not a FTS but some new pics. Here they are. Tangmaster the fish cost more than what they sell them for on this site but they never have them. If they did there's no way they would cost what they have them listed for. I paid under 450 including shipping if this helps.
Regards, Tim
