Hi,
I have a chocolate tang-Acanthurus pyroferus... he was a mimic pearlscale or eibli angel but is now most of the way through the juvenile stage. He is timid and hides a lot if he thinks you are watching, but does eat and is fat and healthy. I have him in a 55 gallon tank which is cruel, he is probably 6 inches long if not 7. Is anyone on this forum able to give him a home in a 120+ gallon tank? He is disease free. He works the tank constantly for algae but does not like caulerpa-though this may be because he has so many other choices. Asking 25 bucks
Also have a small niger trigger. Body not including tail is probably 3 inches. He is healthy and free of disease or blemish. I am hoping to get 25 for him also.
Both fish are in a reef tank with softies, polyps, LPS and SPS and there are no problems. They do not eat hermits or snails. There are 2
peppermint shrimp in with them, still alive.So both fish are good candidates as they are, I can't speak for the future as fish get different appetites with age and some tangs take to "redecorating" when they get big, picking up the snails and dropping them at the other end of the tank or moving corals. Both fish definitely need a larger home in the long run, a 55 is way too tiny...
My number is 808 392 8151. I am not good at checking in on email as I get migraines and work so replying here might result in a long wait (: We are moving soon, am hoping to rehome them ASAP. Otherwise they go to the fish store I work at. Located near the Providence Hosp off 84 in Portland.
Thanks,
Kate
