new pics

read that link....dont know where they get the orange shoulder is aggressive from?? ....mine doesn't even give anything in my tank a second look.....the cleaner wrasse is his constant companion....the only thing he does is nudges the yellow tang away when it trys its luck.....but certainly no aggression of any kind.....when the lights go off my cleaner shrimps crawl all over him without any problems......i would recomend this fish to anyone with a big enough tank with plenty swimming space..cause these are a big fish...but have a big personality to go with it and not to forget a beautiful tang into the bargain.
 
treated myself to an 6" powder blue tang today.....its a perfect speciman nice and fat and only £40....ive been looking for a powder tang for sometime but the one ive seen have always been in bad shape......will post pics soon :)
 
It seems you and I have the same preference to tangs. I've had mine for just over a year and he too was around 6" when purchased. I've seen the LFS try and acclimate 2 separate specimens in a tank which already had one in it (only a 4', 55 gal). He sliced both bags open with his scalpel. He showed extreme aggression and I kind of talked myself out of trying one until I seen what happened next. The LFS never had much room to store them (7 + 1 PB tangs) and had to put some in 10 gal tanks with no lids. I saved the largest and healthiest looking from a presumed death. He had a couple rough days where he came out of his hiding space, went the full length of the tank to pick on a 12" shoulder tang. I couldn't understand it, there was a yellow and a blue around the exact same size as him but he would swim to the other end of the tank to take on the biggest guy in the tank. Luckily this worked itself out and I've never had a hitch since. I hope you have the same luck.
 
i love the colours of the tangs their such beautiful fishes.....i bought my tank with keeping tangs in mind thats why i went for the 100g......what do you feed your tangs strickrick?
