kev311 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 As the title states i need to find a new home for my latest acquisition, its just too bad that hes one of my favorites in my tank right now but its just not fair to keep him in such a small tank. the reason i say this is because he seems to be stressed a bit. he still eats like a pig and he doesnt appear to be unhappy but he seems to be struggling with ich. when he gets it he fights it off without any problem but its a reocuring illness that none of my other fish have a problem with ever. ive also been told that that is just something i would have to get used to because that is just something that happens to blue tangs but i dont want to see him suffer so i would like too see him go to someone who has a tank that he could really stretch out sale pending to: ChevApache58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberts8 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I have a 150 gallon tank, what size is he in now? Will other fish in the tank get the ich? I have never had that in a saltwater tank. Are you still located here in Salem for pickup? Let me know. Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re_Run Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 yes the other fish will get ich the spots erupt then spead it though the tank.. would need to be in qt for 6-8 wks.. then put in the tank.. battling that prob and just got it under control myself.. will house house him for you in my qt if you want or by him out right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev311 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 I've got a 40b. I really think he should probably be in a larger tank. I really hate to see him go cause he's cool to look at and fun to watch Sent from my Dark Jelly Belly using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbird Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Blue Tang = Blue Hippo Tang = Pacific Blue Tang = Regal Tang Gotta love common names but if you say Paracanthurus hepatus people kinda look at you funny (nutty) Its good to see you putting the fish first even if its one of you favorites. Good luck with the sale on a nice little fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gill Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 let this be a warning to everyone who thinks they will just "re-home" their fish when they outgrow the tank. LOL. Seriously though, i can't believe this guy hasn't sold yet. Good luck with the sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
