Zmcclinton63 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I absolutely love this fish and has been in my tank for 2.5yrs Now he is very happy and healthy. Has been in my 93gal with 2 other tangs and he is the king of the tank for sure. No ich on him and is very fat eats everything! He is about 4.5" and is getting to big for my tank. He is very hard to get a good picture of because he is black but here are some older pics and a video I took today. Asking $1100 will deliver. He trusts me and is very easy to catch. No beginners please I want him to live a long time happy and healthy:) https://vimeo.com/178944266 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowderBlue Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 1100$? good luck on selling at that price OP they goes around 400$ at LFS last import Should have bought 2 and doubled your money, a juvenile, IF you can find it, will usually pull 800 plus.

PowderBlue Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 actually here ya go That's a small fish, I've seen them go for up to 1400 when they are adults. You seem to always want to tell people how much things are, yet you're never right when it comes to the price.

The ReefBox Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Heck for $400 I'll take two three and sell them when they mature 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zmcclinton63 Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 You won't find one of these for $400 even for a small one is 750-800. Mine is a very healthy hardy established fish. Less risk of am having any issues is worth more money in my opinion:) thank you everyone for posting the facts haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joehuaseals Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 hey guys, don't hate, don't shoot the messenger if you ask LA whole seller the price will go even cheaper, normally purple tang goes around 60-70 bucks whole sale maybe even cheaper. here is a guy I know can get you a black tang for 499$ and that's retail , although it is a small one, they don't really want to import big ones, shipping cost too much. message him if you are interested https://www.facebook.com/picturesqueaquatics/photos/pcb.718352188266555/718351448266629/?type=3 I m sure this is a big fat healthy black tang, but come on we all know things on Live aquaria are over priced but hey ! best wishes for him , hope he can get a new home XD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Come on guys please quit cluttering the poor guys sale thread! zmcclinton you are being a good sport about all of this. I would be irritated if I was trying to sell something that I thought was a reasonable price and people kept cluttering up my thread. I completely understand where people are coming from that 1100 is a lot of money for a fish but as you all know rarity drives up price. If you have an issue with the price or would like to see if he would go lower please take it to a pm. Personally I do like to buy fish that are well established in someone's home because they have already adapted to captivity. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peng Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Pacific Island Aquatics sells them for $450 with 7-day guarantee. http://www.pacificislandaqua.com/store/c2/Fish_.html Chris at SKA had them go for $500. I bought my joculators 500 each and Blue Zoo sells them over 1000 each. I don't usually like to comment even if I strongly disagree with the price because it's rude to do so. But I felt that I had to give some optional sources on this one to help the potential buyer get more informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zmcclinton63 Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 I regret putting him up for sale... I don't really care what anyone has their for if you want to spend $500 for a one inch fresh caught fish be my guest. Chances of survival on a much bigger fish established for over 2 years. It's the same with every fish so why all of a sudden is it need to some people? If the fish is bigger he is worth more. If he is healthy he is worth more. If he is eating and eating everything he is worth more. If you are not interested don't comment that simple bite your tongue and save the drama for the good of the hobby:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
