what to ask for...

My vlamingii tang?

The day has come, i want to rehouse him but unsure what to ask. I would want him to go to at least a 200 gallon tank, I just dont know what to ask for. I really dont want to get rid of him but he has really outgrown my 110. He is a peaceful fish but with the some what crowed space, he has been acting up a bit. Nothing serious and the last fish I added was about 2 months ago and although he chases him sometimes its not that bad. I have had him about 6 months, if not longer and he has been good since day one.

this is shamu our tank pig...

I've never had one but people that have had them seem to be quite fond of them. Did Alton see this? Maybe he needs one? His 300g would be nice and roomy...

[cowboy572]

There is/was another member with a 300, haven't seen him post in months. His name was Carter, I think is screen name was sampsonndelila. Would check with him to see if he is interested in rehoming him.

[Gseclipse02]

[cowboy572]

I like him, hes big but really timid..... I would love to just see him swim around in a big tank.....

A real beauty, dude. If I had a bigger tank...

I GOT 180GL TANK, I'LL BUY HIM... SAM 210-391-8429

[rrasco]

Wish my 210 was setup already, just putting the sump together tonight though so I'm a few weeks out.

I would feel bad putting a big guy like that in my 210g (already pretty full) because it would only be a few months until he outgrew that tank too. If you don't get any takers from the guys with the 300g's, I have another thought... There is an Italian restaurant near me that has a 500g saltwater tank and I bet they would take it, and then you could visit your big guy while eating pizza! But I don't know how much $$ you could/should ask. That's a tough one.

[Zen Reef]

Which restaurant Kristy?

[Kristy]

Used to be Guy Capparelli's, recently renamed by new owners as Tolentino's Italian Restaurant at Huebner and Bitters intersection. They have some awesome pizza there and we talk to the owners about their saltwater tank every time we drop by. They bought the restaurant with the 500g saltwater tank and have been learning as much as they can as quickly as they can, but have had some ups and downs with the tank over the past couple of years.

Ya that's another possibility..... I love Italian and now have to check out that spot. I also spoke with Luis at elegant about leaving him in that huge tank he has, he said he wouldn't sale him if I did... So that's another option I am still keeping open.
Asfar as how much to ask, I'm not in this for profit but can't remember what I paid for this guy, it's been awhile.

I would but this guy is a fast grower and will quickly outgrow a 180. Thanks for the interest though...

[350gt]

Thanks, i like him alot..... Learned my lesson with this type of fish. Will stick to fish that do not grow do big and fast next time... Well until I set up my next tank.

[hobogato]

there is always donation to seaworld. i donated 6 lage tangs to them when i took down my old 240 reef a few years ago. i may be able to make contact with the guy who was there at the time if you are interested.

[350gt]

I made a thread about that awhile back too... I think if nothing else comes through that will be my last option, only cause I heard the process is a little of a wait.

[hobogato]

yep, it took about three or four weeks if i remember correctly

[350gt]

Oh that's not too bad..... I will definitely give you a shout if I have no other options.....

[350gt]

Here at the restaurant...... So far food is great! Can't say the same for the tank...... Awesome sized tank but needs a clean up crew. They have these fake lobsters floating at the top of the water..... I just want to yank them out along with the fake decorations, but the orange shoulder is huge......


Did I mention the food is great? I ordered chicken Marsala and were sharing a pizza...

[350gt]

Btw the vlaminig will more than likely be at elegant in the huge frag tank...
