The juvenile tang arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to our 120-gallon reef tank. We’ve noticed it’s not overly aggressive and mostly stays in its own area. Good choice for intermediate reef keepers.
Neil Glover –
We’ve had this tang for three months now. It’s active and colorful, and it doesn’t seem to stress other fish. The size is appropriate for a juvenile, and it’s growing steadily.
Dan MacDonald –
Great addition to our tank. The fish is vibrant and has been peaceful despite being semi-aggressive. We monitor its behavior closely and it’s doing well in the 100-gallon setup.
