ocboat Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I was trying to capture my Atlantic Blue Tang but got this guy instead so I thought I would offer him for sale since he is already caught. He is 5-6 inches and in good health. You can read about him here: http://www.bluezooaquatics.com/productDetail.asp?did=1&pid=851&cid=287 He looks just like the one pictured in the link. These don't come around very often but they need a very large tank. If I don't get any responses very quickly I'll put him back in my tank and try for the Atlantic Blue again. I could take a picture of him laying in the bucket but it wouldn't look very good. I'm asking $75.00 OBO. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocboat Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Last chance before he goes back in the tank. All PM's returned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 If you catch the Atlantic Blue I might be interested. How big is he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocboat Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 The Atlantic is about 4" and I would consider it a sub adult. He is blue/gray with a yellow tail. I'll snap a picture when I get a chance. I have had it since it was all yellow and the size of a quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocboat Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 He's back in the tank but if anyone is interested, I will probably be able to catch him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Pretty cool fish....I already know what would happen if I added him to my tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemist Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 If R-3 doesn't buy the blue I would like to thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocboat Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 No problem, I'll let you know. My biggest issue is that I have to trap them when the opportunity arises and then I need to get rid of them quickly since I do not have an additional tank to keep them in. I can trap the Mata about anytime since he goes in the trap all the time. The Atlantic will only go in the trap once the Mata is not around.
