Received the tiny Purple Tang and it’s active and healthy. It’s aggressive, so I made sure to keep it in a 100-gallon tank with plenty of space. The fish is vibrant and shows good coloration. I’m happy with the purchase and the delivery was prompt.

The fish arrived in good condition. It’s active and shows signs of being healthy. I’ve noticed it’s quite territorial, so I’ve added some rock structures to give it space. It’s a good fit for a larger reef tank.

It’s a small fish, as expected. I’m cautious because it’s aggressive. I’ve set up a large tank with plenty of hiding spots. The fish seems to be adjusting well, but I’ll monitor its behavior closely.
