Re: new fish to my DT
Good looking Chevron.
Its surprising just how many people buy a tang and thank that all they need to be healthy is some frozen mysis and a few blood worms.

Re: new fish to my DT
i have been trying to get a Black Tang for a long time, but i can not justify that much money for one fish to my wife !! i will keep looking for a deal on one though.
anthias are great fish, but not really my cup of tea. i am more of a rare fish kind of guy. and before anyone suggests a Gem Tang ... i cant afford one !! lol good suggestions though ... keep them coming.

Re: new fish to my DT
How about a nice colorful wrasse?There's so many beautiful ones,I don't know where to start.How about a McCosker's or Velvet Multicolor.I really like the Scott's Fairy.
How expensive are Black Tangs? Aren't you in a little bit of a pickle?......rare=$$$$.

Re: new fish to my DT
Like OMG!
They don't even look that great!no offense to people who likes them.I'd rather buy a pair of Helfrichi and then slap myself for doing it.

Re: new fish to my DT
Yeah, the gem tang is listed as $3499 on that website.
On Reef Central there's a thread about "What's the most expensive fish that you would NOT want?" And gem tang came in at #1, by far. Why? As one poster put it, "gem tangs. Ugly as all get out and more expensive than my car is."
