Lovesalt Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I have a nice big healthy purple tang to possibly rehome. I'm thinking $120. Anyone interested? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovesalt Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 How big? What size tank is he in currently? I'd say 4" long. In a 120 gallon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Just so everyone knows I have a purple tang in my 60 gallon and he's perfectly happy. It's actually only about 50 gallons tank volume. Not all tanga are the same. Blue tangs and Achilles need lots of roaming room but purple tangs not as much. There is a great article in coral magazine about tangs a few months back. These are also great algae eaters and even eat bryopsis. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I want this sooo bad. Just added two new fish this weekend though so bad timing. Hope he finds a good home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JK Jk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I had a sailfin in my nuvo and a tomini................. they were both 1 1/2 and moved on to a 40 breeder and grew.............both were 3" when I re homed them and both fat and happy. I look at it this way as long as the fish seems happy what does it matter the tank size......yes there are arguments but...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's aggressive to my copperband and this is my 3rd try over the years with this fragile butterfly...I really want it to live!!! The tang was my first fish in this tank so that explains a lot. It's far bigger than all the other fish too. He's fat and happy and really pretty. I just felt I had to decide between the two.
