jedimasterben Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Where did you find the tang? Link to comment
HVani Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 I was at a fish store in Milwaukee. They had 6 of them. I was floored, I know these guys are super hard to find. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 No, no, candy basslets are hard to find, these tangs are in a class of their own. Link to comment
HVani Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 No, no, candy basslets are hard to find, these tangs are in a class of their own. I'm still in shock. I knew the store had the mimic blennies but I was really surprised to see the tangs. I didn't even see them on the first pass. It was the second time through the store I saw them. I went way over my budget for both, but I had to have them for my final fish. I've been on a waiting list of a few sites for a while now for a white tail tang. I thought I would never get one much less happen across one. And he is the real deal, looks just like the picture above. I got lucky Link to comment
gena Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 WOW! I would never have guessed either. I didn't even know there was a tang with a white tail. He's gorgeous! Looking forward to pictures of him in your tank . Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 The weird thing is that there are no restrictions on those fish, nor are they rare in the wild, yet they are simply not collected. I'd gladly pay big bucks for one, but it's just not possible to get them. Link to comment
Arkayology Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Which LFS in Milwaukee? I am from there. Nice fish! Link to comment
HVani Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Which LFS in Milwaukee? I am from there. Nice fish! Best fish! Not sure if they still have any. I was there on Sunday Link to comment
Arkayology Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Best fish! Not sure if they still have any. I was there on Sunday I wouldn't be able to go there anyways. I live in California now But I have been the Best Fish before. It is an ok place. Link to comment
HVani Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Oh geeze I see that now that you are in CA. I love Best Fish. Best prices around and a great selection. It's way better than the Madison stores though Living Art is moving to a larger location. Anyway I came home from lunch so I could post pictures. Hopefully this weekend I can get better ones.

FlowerMama Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Very awesome selection. I never saw either of those before, or heard of them for that matter. What an awfully cute blenny. Link to comment
Felicia Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I don't know how I missed your post about new fish! I don't normally like tangs at all, but I love that one's white tail! Such a cool fish and an amazing find! Also, I've been keeping an eye out for those new blennies locally and haven't seen any. Super cute! Link to comment
HVani Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 The first views of my new light. I can't wait for it to be here. In other news. I had Icarus out last night. He was jumpy at first, but really calmed down. He sat on my knee for the longest time while I was on the computer. He is so freaking cute. It's nice to have a reptile to hang out with on days my snakes are digesting. They can't be handled for 2-3 days after they eat and they ate Monday night. Link to comment
opaquelace Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I love the white tail tangs! If you don't mind me asking, how much is the Nano Box light? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 If it's the 24" Duo, it's $650. Link to comment
opaquelace Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 If it's the 24" Duo, it's $650. It's one of the best looking lights around though. Jeez. Will that cover a 65 gallon tank? Link to comment
