Always angry....

Interesting fish, what does it eat and how big will it get?

HA! He looks like my boss in that second shot. Cool fish.

Hey Rob, nice toad!!! He looks like my toads twin. Always angry also.

He eats whatever doesn't eat him first. :thinking: Nothing reef wise though he has never eaten my snails or hermits. I have seen him pick them up in his mouth and blow them away from his den though. As far as the size goes 12" in the wild and rarely over 8" in captivity. Mine is pushing the 8" mark...

is that an orange shoulder tang in the back ground :thinking:

 

[king4345]

Yes, that is correct orange shoulder tang. I have had that fish for about 4 years and it given me any problems. I love it. He is so active and just always on the go and the color is just wonderful.

Sorry to be OT but can I see more pics of your Oragne Shoulder Tang? I am thinking of buying on, but have never seen what they look like in an aquarium. Thanks

I have been in the saltwater aggressive hobby for 18 months and never seen a fish that cool. I have never seen that beautiful of a fish!! He is awesome. can you reccomend a book or site that can give me info on the care of a fish like that? What size tank is he in? How messy is he as an eater!

I caught a black one of those off my dock once. Nasty little guy. Hidden spikes everywhere.
