Reef madness Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Ok, so we all have a favorite fish.....I have been told that the Powder Blue Tang is extremely difficult to keep but I cannot help myself. I have tried buying one of these fish, introducing it to my reef tank, only to have it not eat and die in a short period of time. If you have this fish or know of someone interested in selling this fish (for a realistic price) please let me know. Thank You!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbird Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 That's my favorite fish too I have been doing a ton of reading on these guys. Here is what my take on it is. This fish is not for a new setup, they do best in a established stable tank. They need a longer tank to thrive, luckily mine is six foot so I just eek by on this one. Also make sure that its eating at the store or persons house before you buy it as some will not ever aclimate to captivity. Also I have been told that the smaller ones usually do better adjusting to life in a tank. I hope this is helpful and enjoy these awsome critters.
