I know it has been 2 years, if not longer when I first saw a picture of this fish on a website. The first name I heard was Jewel tang, but later came to find out it is better know as a Mustard. I've checked with over two dozen on line retailers asking for them to be on the look out for one for me. Monday I get an email from one of them that they are in stock so I ordered two, thinking that if one doesn't happen to make it, I would still have one. I got a call from the supplier Monday afternoon telling me that they had twice as many orders as they had fish, but he was going to try and get me 1. He said I would get the invoice and tracking number sent to me that evening if they shipped. I didn't get the email, and Tuesday, when Fed Ex delivered, I didn't get a box, I was heart broken. An hour later. DLH showed up at the door with a box from the supplier. I was so happy that I had gotten one until I opened the box to find 2 of them. How lucky.
They aren't an expensive fish so I am calling these the "poor man's Gem Tang"
Gem, Jewel, same things aren't they. At least the back half of the fish looks like one......
The new tanks should come in handy incase I ever get in the mood to change water in more than a couple of tanks in one day. If I am figuring right, I should now be able to do a 20% water change in all of the tanks in a single day. It's nice to know I can incase I have to.......
