spiderman2000 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I have a huge Healthy Black Tang it's around 10 inches. I am looking for a black tang around 5 inches. I want to try to trade this tang before I decide to sell it. I know black tangs are rare but if you have a 500gallon tank or bigger and have a smaller black tang and would like a black show tang. let me know.

DiverDan Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Wow how long have you had that thing, it has got to be worth a fortune at that size! Hopefully it is a real black and not a scopas, I am sure its real but wow that is really big for a black tang. I dont think that get that big even at christmas island!!

Michael7979 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Steve has no tank at this time as far as I know. Since he sold all his lighting equipment and livestock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diverdown Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 black tangs and scopas tangs often interbreed and the result is a hybid tang that is all black as a juvenile and, as it gets larger a greenish coloration forms on the top dorsal.

oxx155 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Steve has no tank at this time as far as I know. Since he sold all his lighting equipment and livestock. When did this happen? Last I heard he had a major crash but was rebuilding. Did he give up on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard he was in CA. working for a few months and on his return he is going to start building. And yes it is suppose to be even bigger and even better!!!!!!!
