well, i use to have one b4 my gf cooked our fish (temp wnet up real high when air was off, anyway we have a really nice setup now)
i will be getting one soon, but when i find a nice one... but that i mean, i always see them very skinny, seeing thier spines and sides, or discolored..... there is only one petstore around here that has them nice a filled out with a great yellow color... and they charge $80 for one f that!
why is it that most of them are very skinny and faded looking?
by the way the store in which they don't look so great def had the best fish i have ever seen except the yellow tangs........................

I have noticed that too! All the smaller yellow tangs are skinny, and there is no in-between size, so if you want a thick looking one, you have to get a large one. I have started seeing a couple medium sized healthy ones lately, I think they are about $20-$30. I have one that came with my tank, and he's a small/medium size, and very healthy and plump. :joy:
