New blue tang

[SoccerPro522]

Was this a good deal???
A probably 5-6 in blue tang for $60

You're talking about a Blue Hippo, Pacific Blue, Powder Blue? If you think it's a good deal, than it's a good deal. I'd pay $60 for anyone of those fish if he was in good health.

Yeah that's a good price for a medium to large sized fish.

 

[OhNoNemo]

Agreed,i would assume a blue hippo??but either way its an average price..IMO

 

[yote]

+1 Nemo.Thats about the going rate for any of those tangs listed in your size range.

 

[fastrd400]

That would be about 80.00 out here.

 

[reeffreak]

Sounds like a fair price,congrats.

Yea its a blue hippo sorry didnt think about all the other blue tangs out there but it came in moderate health its skinny and had a couple bumps and bruises but it eats like a champ so I've got my fingers crossed. I'll put pics up when i get a chance. I've been really busy.
P.S went to the LFS 2day and found one the same size little fatter going 4 $200

 

[Bifferwine]

$200 is insane for a hippo tang. That's plain robbery.

 

[fastrd400]

I have one now that is pushing 8". I'll give him to you for 150.00

 

[Bifferwine]

Seriously. Hippo tangs go for $30 to $60 depending on size. That $200 price tag can't be for real.

Are you sure it wasn't a yellow belly hippo tang? Those are a more rare and expensive color morph.

Out here, the one I got from Craig (seriously huge) would go for close to that.

You said it,i would have laughed in their face and said good luck with that one....jeez....My LFS had the purple i just got for $100(got it for 50)
Yeah 30 for a hippo was his price too.....man,i miss it so much already...still haven't found one within 100 miles yet.
