O.K. My Yellow Tang

[Damsel13]

My Tang is growing by leaps and bounds! Oh my goodness. And he/she has turned a dark lemon yellow AND is bossing the other fish around! Did I mention her/his fins? GEORGEOUS! I think in a 55 gal. this is going be a challenge!
When I got him/her this fish was the size of my dwarf coral angel NOT ANY MORE!

If ya get a baby Tang arange a home for it, K?

Great post. Some people don't relize that these 3" fish get >8" and are quite beefy and love to swim. Thats why most say not to put a tang in anything less than a six foot tank.

Damsel, what are you going to do?

Hey deb where is the pictures of the tang?

 

[Mrktplayer]

you can always give him away to a proper home

I am torn....I love my tang. I will not take him/her to a fish store. I will take pictures soon which won't be hard because Tang is not camera shy.
I think one of the the things that amazes me is the amount of poop these animals can produce.
I don't think there is a huge market for mature yellow tangs.
I will think and take the best care I can.

old pic. about 4 months ago. HUGE change since then.

My antennata lionfish will outgrow my 50 gallon within a year. I was planning on getting a bigger tank to accomodate, but I can fix my problem by giving him away without having to make any other adjustments. I'm not looking forward to letting him go either, but he will be happier in a 100+ gallon tank. In a couple of years I'll have a larger tank, then I'll consider another lion.

I can't, I just can't part with this fish. Not today. Tomorrow is another day........Ha

Why don't you get a bigger tank then? Seems the only good option if you plan to keep him.

 

[Dr. Dee]

Thank you deb for the picture, its a nice looking tang.

 

[Juanfer]

I agree with Jan, you should get a bigger tank.
good luck!

 

[Damsel13]

Hummmmm....Bigger tank :idea:

 

[MC Lighting]

The yellow tang is definitely very nice striking and very active really nice in groups when they have room to swim in a bigger tank and it cuts down on their aggressive squabling.
