Black tang

The friendliest place on the web for anyone with an interest in aquariums or fish keeping!
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
My words of warning where not towards the tang being hard to keep but rather can be difficult to acclimate and often arrive sickly...

As for the black tang if are you refering to the Zebrasoma rostratum they are not hard to keep but rather hard to acclimate to aquarium life.

Once/if the tang settles in, it can indeed be a very hardy fish. I am glad that you where able to aquire healthy fish MR294 but considering their rarity, it should be left alone IMO.

Cheers

Thanks for all your replies esp to Steve.
I'll reconsider about the black tang issue. For the benefit of the other guys, my tank is definitely about 5 months old and most of them were there since day 1. Anyway, I'm working on reducing the stock.
Thanks for all your concern.
