Oh boy, he's here!!

[andysgirl8800]

Got a call today from my fish man....he finally got his hands on my Lieutenant Tang. Actually, he's had him for about three weeks, but refuses to sell any of his livestock until he's had it at least 3 weeks and it is eating well. Now....I just have to brainwash....er....um....TALK TO the hubby to see when he'll be swimming in my tank!


Ain't he beautiful?!

 

[Bifferwine]

That is a great looking fish!! If you just bring him home and add him to the tank, will the hubby even notice the new fish? "What are you talking about? That fish has been in there all along!!" :mrgreen:

 

[andysgirl8800]

*LOL* yeah, I think he'd notice. Actually, he'd notice the hit to the account before he noticed the fish. :grumble:

My heart stopped beating for a moment.. that is a georgous tang one of my fav's. I'm sure it will be soon, your hubby may not admit it but he loves your tank as much as you ;)

 

[andysgirl8800]

I love tangs in general. They have so much personality! Although, I guess you can say that about any SW fish.....

Nope you can't. You definitely can't say that about pajama cardinals. :lol:

 

[andysgirl8800]

Touche. Can't say I've every really liked that fella. Gave me the creeps.

 

[Smitty]

That's one beautiful fish...good luck getting him. :)

Nope you can't. You definitely can't say that about pajama cardinals. :lol:

hahaha quiet you! i love my pj cardinal, and he is actually quite active! although, he did scare the gf a bit XD

great looking fish :D I want tangs now

 

[koda_dad]

Amazing looking fish!

Its killing me too. A not so local fish store has a chevron that I want. No holds... Unfortunately, I have no tank for him yet.

Hopefully, you can convince hubby!

 

[andysgirl8800]

:cry: Have to wait another 2 weeks. No room in the budget this pay. :grumble: Ah well. my fish guy will hold him for me. That's what I like about him!

 

[Solarfall]

That's an awsome fish.

 

[dcantucson]

Beautiful, beautiful fish. :) Two weeks! That's tough. :(

 

[andysgirl8800]

Yeah, I know.....but I trust my LFS guy, I really do. Probably helps that I come in to buy it when I say I will. I never ask him to hold something I am only CONSIDERING buying, only something I have definately decided to buy.

 

[Cottonwood]

I love that fish, looks great!!! Thats a great choice!

I sure miss my old LFS:(,i felt the same way,and had a great relationship with the family....
Nice looking fish BTW,hope you can get it

 

[andysgirl8800]

I hope my guy will always be there. He's got a super sweet (and smart) shop built over an old automotive repair garage. The kind that has a basement from which you worked on the cars from underneath the first floor. He's got all his plumbing hooked up from below including self top-off system, automatic water change system, automatic feeding system, it's amazing!

His "fuge" in the basement is a 150 tank full of live pods and mysis that he essentially flushes twice a week into his tanks above, which are all interconnected. He has these 500 gallon water drums for his RO/DI water and mixed SW. I've never seen another setup like it. Because most of the water in his "sumps" are below ground, he keeps really stable water temps and can open up the garage doors for additional ventilation.

Hmm....can you tell I'm impressed? *LOL*

 

[ggNoRe]

That is one very impressive fish! Much better looking than any of the other leutenant tang pics I've seen.

 

[Vincenzo]

Thats a beautiful fish. looks like its got a kiss on the side there with black lipstick lol

 

[ccCapt]

Thats a nice fish. It's 1 of the more mellow Acanthurus.sp tangs.
