8" Blue spot Vlamingi Tang. Very fat and healthy. Very sociable. Eats out of my hand and will even let me touch him. Starting to get the streamers on his tail.

Need to drop the bioload on my tank.

Will only allow him to go to a tank of 200 gallons or more.

$110
OUCH!

Hmmm.. :) maybe he can school with my 12 & 8 inch vlamingi's :) But our tank 240 brick 96 x 24 x 24 will not be ready for another 2 weeks or so. Still going through a small cycle. ..

John,
I hate see you let him go but I understand, he is a hog. I really enjoyed teaching him to trust enough to let you pet him. He really likes his back rubs...lol He is one beautiful and personable fish.

Yeah, I really like the big guy. Just got to do something to get the bioload undercontrol. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.....

Do you have other tangs in your tank? I've always wanted a vlamingi but not sure he would get along with my powder blue tang.

Jeff, I never had any problems when we had our previous setup with the vlamingi's and powder blue. :)

He in my tank with a Unicorn, Hippo, and Sailfin. One big happy family, even during dinner time.

the vlamingi will peacefully rule the tank. even my clown tang (mean as a sohal) would listen when the big guy flared his fins.

Ace is right. He was in my tank with 8 other Tangs and was the Godfather. I had him for 3 yrs and he was with 2 Purple and 2 Sailfins. Ace gave him to me for my 50th Birthday. He is just like a puppy and loves the attention. He would do well in your tank Jeff.

really? i didnt realize it was that fish! that fish has been around here forever - it was brian and anita's before they traded it in at ad - where i got it. hopefully some day it will end up at seaworld when no one has a tank big enough for it :)

sorry for all of the off topic john - seems like you have a couple of good people with big tanks looking at it tho :D

Sounds like a great fish, I'm interested if he's still available.
