I find that the blue tang is also expensive in Canada - I just paid $90 for a 5 cm (2 in) tang. It was worth it, a nice contrast to my yellow tang which cost $70 at a size of 12 cm (4.75 in). They seem to be getting along (ignoring) each other so far; the yellow one is bigger, at about 15 cm (6 in.). I love tangs!

Tangs...they are the best!! I have seven in a 125 gallon. Its a squeeze, but they are all under eight inches. The secret is to completely rearrange your rocks and maybe even remove certain more agressive types (exe. Purple) every time you introduce a new fish. It doesn't even matter if they are all different sizes>>> Tangs are the Best!!

THANK YOU! I have a huge project to do tonight (sadly I put it off until the last minute) and you have given me all the information I need on all 10 species of marine life! Once again, THANK YOU!

Hi Guy's,
A solution which, I found that worked to Tangs being agressive to each other when a new one is first introduced; rearrange your rocks and anything else you might have in your tank. I have a 5cm powder brown tand and introduced a blue tang.

If you buy this fish or any marine fish quarantine first to remove the whitespot/itch/crypto as many have this on their bodies when coming from the wild. If you can see tiny white spots on or within the skin treat with a good copper treatment (cupramine seahchem is good). Also while at the petshop make sure he is eating and buy the same food that they are feeding it.

Once you get him fat and healthy introduce into a 300 liter+ system with no other established or aggresive tangs.

Truly laymis.

This site is just so informative for me. I am doing a project on this fish, and this site gave me all the information that I needed.
