dun worry boss,

your patience and experience will pay off....

seriously your piece is very nice...

u can ask edwin how many times i got up and down the 2 stools, how many times i walked between the 2 tanks...separated by the main door....looking at your piece and my piece.....

hope yours eat as well as Dispar's ....mine is a stubborn chap :lol: patronising me by just a few bites of ulva here and there <_<

haha I was like you deciding the one i am getting and the one boss has reserved too...... Also same as you take the stool walk up and down, until edwin also laugh(now maybe i know why he laugh cos my action was the same as you)..... In the end decide to take the one i got due to the fact that boss's AT is too big for my tank....

Hey, hey! It's RESERVED already!! No point looking! :lol:

I'm afraid my small powder blue & big sailfin tangs may harass my new AT, so that's why my AT is being housed with a big angel and another tang so he'll get used to bigger fishes which may give him trouble.

He's eating now... *crossed fingers*... and I hope he'll adapt quickly in my reef.

ahh...

then i know boss's AT is which one..that one the teardrop also nice nice...but one side has 2 white small patches...

tat size and teardrop is a very good combination....but i did not feel comfortable buying it coz of the white patches...hehe

but if the white patches heal and eats well, our boss will be the happiest guy in here, that AT is a sure winner and definite showpiece :lol:

The white patches are faint parallel lines on its side.... I suspect its just damage during handling. No visible deep wounds but more surface discolouration due to scratching.

I'm sure the AT will recover. I was attracted to its bold colours and of course its large teardrop. :wub:

Yup those scratches are definately cuase by poor handling... Will surely recover......

think my piece the mouth also genna...

the white patch above the upper lip <_<

Watch the upper lip. :ph34r:

My old AT had a mouth infection in my refugium and it became bloody with flesh flapping around. It didn't make it.

That's a common problem with tangs with protruding mouths... they either hurt & damage themselves by dashing into the nets when caught or bashing headon into the glass walls.

You have to give it time to recover from mouth wounds before mixing with other tangs so there's less stress.

yeah...

i am not putting the AT back into my system...the dots not terrible but i still net it away...

i do not want this piece to be a live hosting body for ich as a platform to infect the rest of my current fishes which do not have visible ich...but i know my system is carrying a low infection rate....meaning its there, but not visible...not full-blown...

i am already at the closing stages of this tank's development already...too much at stake here, not money....but it's the right timing and chemistry of getting every livestock and corals to the current holding amount....

with money can definitely buy many many times of the current stock amount, but its the luck/chemistry of it all....hehe

will only put it back once i see it really eating well...but from the white patch i observe, it may never get back to eating well, not enough to sustain its body mass i feel...

sigh...my piece should be the first to fall out from this batch of ATs....wish dispar's and AT's AT :lol: every success in their showpieces....

;)

Come on! Don't give up hope so quickly!!! If you isolate yours and give it time, it'll fine!

i have already started making arrangements for my tangs when they get big....

dispar will have my chevron when it's large and lose all it's orange-red colours... ;)

deepblue probably will have my black tangs when they are large since he is planning a 6ft FOWLR system soon... :yeah:

and boss AT will have my AT when it is large if boss wants....provided it makes it...which i seriously doubt so :nc:

Yes dont give up so easily. At least the AT is still fighting for its survival. Who knows that this may become your prized piece given the trauma that it has brought you.

Too bad my tank is too small and immature to keep such a nice fish.

hope so,

my AT says hi to all of you and thanks for all the well wishes :)

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
