wad makes an AT difficult to keep?

[PBT]

as the above?wad can it be?

[iori_del]

Number one is of course the space.

It keep swimming none stop...

Water condition is next..

tat all from a newbie. Maybe there is other who can advise more

[Gouldian]

Iori_del have covered 2 important points, I would like to add another.

I feel that AT needs to be the boss of the tank. Whenever the number one position is threaten by another fish, it will be stressed. And with stressed, it will be prone to ich and then..........

I added a Purple Tang to my main tank yesterday and although PT and AT are about the same size the PT being more aggressive tilt the dominance of the AT and after a couple of hours, our good friend (Ich) paid a visit to the AT.

Boh bian dose the remaining Salifert Stop Parasite and as of the evening white spots significantly reduced. But still praying.

Also At is a poor shipper... Long journey from hawaii to sinagpore isn't really good for them especially when they are poor shipper... Getting them to eat is also hard although can be done.. Next AT are so ich prone that i think almost all At have to undergo the ich phrase for the first few weeks... After that if the fish make it den ok if not

AT do best in SG of 1.026.

AT needs oxygen saturated water.

AT is poor shipper

Some AT comes from the pacific island where chemical might still be used for catching them so choose the source of your fish wisely.

AT very ich prone.

AT is difficult to get them to eat and even that the type of food still counts, some food just areb't good enuff.

AT needs strong current.

Wow...this is a long list of requirement.

Do you think hyposalinity is a must for AT?

[roidan]

So far haven't tried hypo for my tangs

[weileong]

Do you think hyposalinity is a must for AT?

Why do you think it's a must?

[patrick123]

oic. So no need hypo, but I guess it is best to quarantine first right?

[weileong]

hypo only when the fish show signs of ich.

quarantine is good procedure and does not apply to AT alone.
