tjat means another upgrade nice grab btw

Another upgrade!?!?! Its minimum tank req. is 150 gallons from what I read...I sure hope the 220g is plenty! If not, he'll hang with us for the few years and move on to something bigger! (He's smaller than my clowns as of right now)

And Thanks!! I really think this guy is going to be awesome!!

 

[EricTheRed]

[SaltyScotty]

ANNNNNND I'm an idiot...its Eye Striped...not Eye Lined...ugh.....my bad, sorry!

 

[mlreef]

Take good care of him! I was very close to buying him. Please take pictures every couple of months to show his growth and coloration changes until he reaches terminal phase.

 

[ColaAddict]

Anyone know how big and agressive those get?

 

[SaltyScotty]

Take good care of him! I was very close to buying him. Please take pictures every couple of months to show his growth and coloration changes until he reaches terminal phase.

Absolutely!! Im still not too hot with taking pictures of the fish (as you can see), but hopefully once I get him into the big tank he'll be a little more photogenic!

I've been reading that they arent aggressive at all, but they are the biggest Acanthurus there is and top out around 21"

I knew that Angel Fish had dramatic coloring changes between their juvenile and mature stages but I never knew Tangs had such dramatic changes.
