wilsontantw Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 heres another pic... mind the bad quality... using a phone camera if you ever get sick of it, put this piece on auction (in fact, even ebay, if they allow livestock) I'm sure a lot of tang-lovers (like me) will want to have this.

nwyk153 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Sick? Don't think so. He ate like a pig after i acclimate him. He's now swimming side by side with my sailfin tang and my foxface, pecking on algae on liverock. Whenever he sees me, he beg for food! So glad to have him.

Achilles Tang Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 It's good news that he has a good appetite, it means his chances of survival is strong. He does look a little thin though. It could be cyanide poisoning? Just speculating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one yellow tang which have been with me for years. Its faded yellow.. almost white. Surely not sick coz its big, fat and never gets ich.

SRC Member arcanehacker Posted April 3, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted April 3, 2008 Come to think of it I've seen this fish somewhere. Is this from one of the LFS from the West?

SRC Member tiffanydunk Posted April 29, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted April 29, 2008 i'll go for a faded yellow tang. And a aged one. Maybe an albino tang, can happen to turtle, arowana, why not tang? Quote pico pico pico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member zipp86 Posted May 5, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted May 5, 2008 hmmm faded tangs usually mean the Lateral Line Head Erosion Disease or LHHE, will slowly die, try to feed it HUFA enriched foods or add a suplement like Selcon or Zoecon into your usual fish food.
