Thank you very much fudukeford. He's very small right now...only about 1.5 inches. I'm really excited about him

 

[zach]

Anyone else have or had one of these tangs before?

 

[fedukeford]

I had a close realitive, a kole tang, but it reccently died. It loved meaty foods and algea flakes, and got ich kinda easily.

 

[zach]

how big of a tank did you have? How long did you have him?

 

[fedukeford]

I have a 6' 125 gallon. It lasted about 2 weeks, but it came to me in poor condition. Your tang looks pretty healthy

 

[zach]

Thanks so much
