[LFSrbad]

can anyone else please help?

i dont want to make a wrong desicion.

I think Innovator provided all the answers, the only thing I would add is as far as eating is concerned is that I would never take a fish home from lfs unless I saw it eating in a dealers tank

[Ziggy953]

Innovator said it all. If you don't have at least a 90g tank I would not suggest getting either of these fish.

[LFSrbad]

ok

[melosu58]

I agree James covered it all.

[LFSrbad]

so if i get a powder blue tang what should i do to prevent it from getting ich

[Innovator]

quarantine it and hyposalinity. Do a Search on the forums, there are countless threads on how to quarantine and hyposalinity treatments.

[LFSrbad]

to prevent i should keep a 8.3 ph and no more than 2 tempature degrees up or down right?
