Almost bought an Atlantic Blue Tang from Petco...

[Hiker4twenty]

I stopped at Petco yesterday to pick up some bones from the dogs. I looked at the SW section as I normally do. They had a juvie Atlantic Blue Tang that's in the process of changing to adult. It was approx 3" in length and $49.99. I almost pulled the trigger on it. Can it be kept with a Yellow Tang?What to do? :grumble:

That seems high to me, my LFS had three for sale last week for $25

I think I paid $30 for mine at Something Fishy. Dave, if you saw how big a full grown 1 gets, you wouldn't want it in your 75.

I didn't know they get big. Better pass on it then. Thanks for the info.

I have one that has outgrown every other Tang. I'm thinking my 150 is getting too small. I would say a 75 is probably too small.
