So I have an order of fruit loop cyphastrea that is AWESOME and a blue eyed kole eye tang that came in today. I think the kole tang is like 75 years old in fish years, it's huge.
1) I know this is super morbid but I am worried if it's life expectancy is 5 years and it's 4.5 years old, did I get a fish at the end of it's life cycle?
2) I have a 75g tank, and plan on upgrading it. I did not think that the kole tang would be full grown when I received it. It just looks too big for the tank. I see that 75g is around the minimum size for the kole but this is my first tang and now I understand why 'tang police' is a thing.
I would legit swap out this beast for a smaller one, but don't know if there are lil babies out there or if that would be something any one would feel like doing?
It arrived and I got the box 9 minutes later - the fish did not look great. Temp acclimated it and dropped it in DT, both salinities are kept at 1.025 so I figured the temp match was enough.
It sat on the bottom for a bit, I threw some pellets/nori on a clip/mysis in there, and it munched on the mysis. I had to go back to work, stupid lunch break, and by the time I left it was swimming around slowly.
I took a second lunch break and went home and it was swimming around, slowly, but looked good.
