nice stuff dom, let me know if you see one of my favorites where ever you shop

Send me a PM with your favs and I'll do my best. We have been selling our fish before I've had the chance to post them so it may be best to give me a list of what you are looking for. No strings attached. If we bring it in and you don't want it we will sell it to someone else or I will keep it for myself :)

Dom, your fish are amazing... your pic of the tang sucks compared to what it really looks like!!

Seriously, if people see these in person or a good pic goes up, you'll be selling these by the dozen!

He's out and exploring the tank already and looks incredible!!!

Great meeting you and thanks!

I only had two Mike and they both have beautiful markings like that one. The one pictured was the smaller of the two and that is the exact one beerfish picked up yesterday. I never seen them before Justin ordered them so I can't speak for any others except the two I have. They are very pretty though and I especially like their swallowtail. A much better alternative to Kole Tangs IMO as they are easier to get on prepared foods. Unfortunately the pictures available on the web stink so I think it kept them under the radar.

They are voracious algae eaters. I threw some stringy green macro algae in the tank to show beerfish and they start chowing down immediately.
