Unless noted by
WYSIWYG! all pictures here are examples of
each species. The specimen you purchase may have
slight color differences due to age (Juv to adult).
Sizes are approximate.
All Tangs offered for sale are eating Nori Seaweed.
In addition be sure to feed them P.E. Mysis Shrimp,
Cyclopeeze & Formula 2 Flakes for a well balanced diet.

Penny's Favorite!
King of the reef! Very laid back & super
personality! Males develop long black
streamers on the tips of their tail. Just an
all around super fish. Small specimens need a
minimum 4 ft tank but be prepared to jump into a 6
foot tank as it gets larger! :0) |

One of the few tangs that go
through a dramatic color change from juvenile to
adult. Juveniles are accepting of new
tank mates at any time but older specimens should be
a last in as they can be territorial.
My specimen is colored at the Juv
stage. Peaceful.
