melbourne Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Thought i'd post the new pics on the new page... anywat.. complete TURNAROUND under planning Tank looks pretty good. I would add a black background and maybe swap out the glass heater for a stealth visitherm so it doesn't stand out as much. Love the carribean rics. Link to comment

Fishfreak218 Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 ok, well only one of you was RIGHT! and the Answer is, drumrole please (ut-oh i already here them coming wewowewoweoweoweowewoweweoweoweoweoweo) its the TANG POLICE!!! thats right, first to put a Blue Tang in a 2.5g (dont worry he already has BIG home planned for him ) ok well Regal Tang, you didnt guess you knew about it so w/e anyway pics tonight.. this weekend new Aquascape and hopefully a background and new sand Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 SUCK ON THIS TANG POLICE: Everyone meet Dory: ok well, there he is and NO ONE COMPLAIN! he was in a similar size tank at LFS and was eating Adult Brine Shrimp (when i asked if they would feed him Frozen Mysis they said they have it for sale but only feed Live Brine to their fish) so the live Brine was divoured [sp] at the store and i figured it looked pretty darn close to Frozen Mysis.. anyway when i put her in yesterday she started picking on the Caulerpa and when i fed her today (Mysis soaked in Garlic additive) she ate a toN! i dont know if you can see it but she is all fat.. anyway she is so cute..I love her.. we also aranged for her to go to a 210g. when she is older, if she makes it past then b.c. small tangs are hard to keep.. anyway hope you liker her Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 I just hope i can keep him disease free, since baby tangs dont do so well, but he was either goin to get baught by someone else or die in the LFS, so why not buy him.. right Link to comment
jmorris Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 yeah, buy those litle baby tangs up, "rescue" them even, so the LFS sees demand, buys more, and the cycle continues... genius. Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 ok, I absolutly HATE when people say $H!+ like that b.c. they get bought anyway, once something is in a LFS you can consider it bought (if it is healthy)...... they will continue and have been for a while.. and people do buy them, so STFU.. also i didnt "rescue" him.. he was in relativly [sp] the same size tank, he was being fed Adult Brine.. so i bought him b.c. he looked Healthy (the LFS moved from a diff. location so he hadnt been in the store long b.c. i went for there Opening sale...)

BelowH2O Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Its kinda like when people get all anal about keeping octopi. I went to a chinese buffet in Houston a week ago and there was a whole serving tray of octopus. The best part was hardly anyone ate any so they'll probably just throw them away. Not to mention all the other fish, chicken and meat they had. Its okay to slaughter and eat...but try to keep something alive in a home smaller than its size and the sirens go off. Anything people buy from a petstore fuels the fire, and people will always be stupid so don't worry about it. Heck we know coral reefs are endangered yet most coral enthusiasts buy wild coral? Go Figure. Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 lol, thank you BelowH2O, those are some very good points, "O its not right to keep a Tang in a tank smaller than its size" (which is not yet true) but dipping Chickens in boiling water (while fully contous [sp] ) to de-feather them.. is fine, right??? anyway i figure it this way, he is 1" so its like keeping a 1ft. Blue Tang in a 6ft. long tank (i doubt anyone would be complaining if that was the dimensions of a tank i had with a Blue tang that size in it) Link to comment
