I really dun understand these fish names. This fish is blue. All I see is blue blue and more blue. Hell he even looks more blue than a blue tang.

Why is it called a chocolate tang???? And I have never seen this fish for sale before anywhere. I can't even find it in www.liveaquaria.com

AT can you provide more info such as aggressiveness, size, requirements? I really want to get one of this too. Its blue is amazing!

It's a mimic tang, Acanthurus pyroferus. Also known as chocolate tang.

This extract taken from: http://www.exotictropicals.com/encyclo/mar...s/chocolate.php

Pictured above are juvenile specimens of the mimic tang. It appears the tang on the top is mimicking C. flavissimus (Lemonpeel angel) while the tang on the bottom is mimicking C. vroliki (Pearl-scaled angel) or Eiblii's angelfish. When they get older their dorsal, ######, and tail fins become outlined in dark blue or black while the body changes from yellow to orange to light blue.

These fish mimic the pygmy angelfish like Centropyge eiblii, C. flavissimus, or C. vroliki, when they are young. Presumably they mimic these angelfish because they have a better defense against predators than the tang until the spines on their caudal peduncle matures.

--------------

Actually, it's not that blue. It's more of a nice slate grey colour under bright yellow light and appears blue when only the Radiums are on. It looks more beautiful in photographs which is really amazing... :) I did no colour touchup or editing... what you see is what you get.

My adult Chocolate Mimic Tang is very friendly and will swim around my hand when I am arranging my rocks or corals.

Juvenile mimic tangs are quite ugly but become beautiful later! :P

Hey the 2 tangs you keep are very ich prone, think you should know that whjen you read up on them before buying(or have you not read up first :angry::angry: ) Hey yes garlic is one way of prevention the others is to seperate the fish and give them as less stress as possible :D:D

hey blue tang will recover from icheasily and will get them on and off so don't worry but for the PBT the fish are verty delicate and hard to acclimitize so you might want to seperate it to a quarantine tank.

Hey this is my happy PBT

      BITCOIN RECOVERY SIMPLIFIED, DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY CUTTING-EDGE SOLUTIONS.

      contact@ digitaltechguard .com website link:: https://digitaltechguard.com telegram +56 997 059 700 Being an artist living in Miami, my life has always been filled with creativity, inspiration, and the ups and downs of a fluctuating income. However, nothing could prepare me for the financial blow I experienced when I fell victim to an online scam. Losing $25,000 felt like losing a part of my identity, as those funds represented not just my savings but also dreams and aspirations for my art. I found myself feeling lost, anxious, and uncertain about the future. In the midst of this turmoil, I began searching for solutions to recover my lost funds. That’s when I came across Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Initially, I was skeptical. Like many, I had read about recovery services that promised the world but often delivered nothing. However, my instincts told me to reach out to them, and I’m so glad I did. From the very first interaction, the team at Digital Tech Guard Recovery was professional and compassionate. They took the time to understand my situation, guiding me through the recovery process step by step. What impressed me most was their commitment to transparency; there were no upfront fees, which put my mind at ease during a time when I could least afford to take further financial risks. Digital Tech Guard Recovery walked me through the necessary documentation and evidence collection to support my case. They were patient, answering all my questions and providing me with updates throughout the process. Their expertise was evident, and it was comforting to know that I was in capable hands. It felt as if I had a team of advocates on my side, fighting to reclaim what was rightfully mine. Over the next few weeks, I watched as they diligently worked on my case. They kept me informed about their progress and what steps were being taken. I had almost lost hope, but their determination reignited my faith in the possibility of recovery. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I received the news that my funds had been successfully recovered. I couldn't believe it—I was overjoyed. This experience not only restored my finances but also rekindled my belief in support systems. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to Digital Tech Guard Recovery.
