Please comment on your experience with this fish. Thanks.

Because you are asking for them J! :)
Gorgeous fish!

[Mandinga]

Ctenochaetus hawaiiensis, IMO They're overpriced, but that's because I'm a poor college student. Man, they are stunningly beautiful though. They're detrivores, which always will have a place in my reef...but for now, I'm sticking with Kole Tang's (Ctenochaetus strigosus) for $35...not quite as pretty, but they are workhorses.


Hey, maybe Ed's reef will accept collegiate text books for trade in!

[diverdown]

Lol!! Getting too much love from my friends these days Mike.

Stop by Eds now open 6 days a Wk.

[cklskypilot]

cool fish I like to pick him up.

[Rick]

If I recall correctly these are one of the bristletooth tangs and are excellent tank cleaners. If they were priced around the same as the Kole or Bristletooth I would probably have one.

[diverdown]

He's so tiny.

I like to find out how much but I guest there not open. cool fish I like to pick him up. I tried to call but wont pick up and I am not going to drive 30 miles one way to find the store closed

Sorry man!!! I was there till 6, I was prob dripping it in the quarantine system downstairs and didn't hear the phone.

This fish is so darn cute!!!! If I had the $ I would keep it in the show tank!!!

Rick you recall correctly they are in the bristle tooth family and retail online have these in a different price group than the kole tangs thats for sure.

Hey Diver, I was gonna bug Ed today to see if "my" fish showed up, he told me you had something coming in I may want-Is this it?

I know it was on my list but could not find one in town, so I got blue eyed kole ( I wanted a bristle tooth) which I wish I would not have, not going to be able to catch it until I switch tanks

Chevrons are sweet looking, I wish they stayed that way through maturity-

Awesome fish and I have NEVER seen one that small SAWEET!!!!

[diverdown]

This was one of them. I ordered a really nice wrasse I never seen before called a hood wrasse.

Hopefully they will be in soon.

Cheveron tangs are pretty cool looking as they get older, atleast I think so.

[reef165]

Me too!! The one in our show tank thats about 3 years old looks so awsome!!!!

I am pretty sure that 3rd one down would look best in my tank-although it seems they may all be the same fish (2-4), pic 2 and 3 look to be the same????


Westside has one about 6 inches or so, they just loose all the orange and just dont look like the same fish, unless Tim was wrong and told me his adult chevron was not what the fish he thought it was (laugh)

Expect a phone call today boys-LOL

[diverdown]

Yes brad all 3 are pictures if ventralis anthias.

[NoobtoSalt]

So it looks like Brad and I might be fighting over those fish huh....LOL

Look forward to seeing them in one of our tanks.

[Trautman]

could the color as an adult differ from male and female?
