Looking for an Atlantic Blue Tang

[miamiluis]

I'm in Astoria and I'm going down to Miami in two weeks! I can bring some back with me if you want, since I'm already planning on bringing alot of my own frags back up to NYC from my system there. Atlantic Blue tangs are gorgeous, especially when they're juvies! Word of caution from a guy who has not only had a few, but have also collected his own: They are extremely aggressive, scrappy, and usually won't rest until they either get killed or they become the new king of the tank! They're cheap, but you usually have to order them a week in advance at the LFS in Miami because most people don't want to deal with them. I only recommend them if you have very agressive fish that won't be able to also eat your little guy! LOL!
+'s: they are voracious when it comes to problem algae, and don't hide. Beautiful!
-'s: aggressive as hell, especially towards tangs. Territorial towars everybody else.

I never knew they were that aggressive, but I'm willing to try.
I already have several tangs in my larger 225 gallon tank.
A 6" Naso, 4" sailfin, 4" hippo,and one real ornery 5"-6" yellow tang,
They have their established pecking order, and all are just fine together.

Please let me know the cost and size whenever you get there?
I've always wanted to order from Cramers Critters,
cheap prices but getting a live person is like pully teeth.

I go to the Bronx to visit my father about once a month.
I can arrange to visit him, and meet you with the fish some where.
I will PM you with my cell phone number.
Theis way you can call me while your vacationing in Miami.

BTW: make sure you visit South Beach in Miami.
You must were dark sunglasses while your crusing the beach.
The babes are incredible, and your eyes will roam,
with out you even realising it.
If you go with your 'Ol Lady, she may beat the hell out of you.
:sgrin:


thank you

Totally reef safe, and they go to town on the algae!

I was just in sea level aquarium in Pine brook, NJ. and I'm almost positive that I saw a juvenile there. I wasn't really looking for that fish so I didn't pay much attention, but you could give them a call to confirm.

 

[meherbas]

the elos Aquastudio in millburn Nj has one, small but displaying adult colors

 

[zenfish]

Yeah no one wants them.

Pretty sure OP found one already as this is a 5 year old thread...
