Looks good man, is it eating good for you? Also, make sure you realize how fast these fish grow when fed right and plan for another home in a year or so.

Good luck :)

yep he eats like a greedy little piggy :badgrin:
yea i know he gonna get big i had one before but sold it cause it got big..I missed it so got this little guy :D
 
blue tangs like that dont have good success rates imo they shoulkdnt be collected so small good luck with that
 
Make sure to feed him some veggies & not just meaty foods, you'll know how healthy he is within a few days they can go from good to bad rather quickly at that size!
 
yup, I like the Julian Sprung sea veggies, get him to eat that even if you have to avoid feeding him the regular food you feed, they need it in their diets. In time as it grows It will eat more & more veggies!

done and done! I feed the whole tank a varitey of things each day and I put some nori yesterday in the day stuck it on my mag float the little bugger was eating it so, he seems good although i might have to much flow in the tank anf funny thing he swims right in the middle of it for couple mintues each time.Should i be concerned
 
nope it is normal for these fish, they live cautiously as a built in safety system. They will sleep all up into the rocks tightly, even sideways, very cool!
 
Yeah there super cool! I see your from the Bahamas is it nice there
