Just browsing a local general pet store that happens to sell fish as well, and the have two yellow tangs, decent size. I’ve been wanting one, and now with the shutdown I know they’ll be hard to get. But I’m not sure they look very healthy, just seem kinda skinny. Thoughts? They’re $100

Depends.. Skinny because they are not eating or not being fed enough or skinny because they have internal parasites?
 
Thinning but not unusual as the stores receive them this way from their suppliers
Feeding will bring them up to par.
My 6 were similar when I got them
Feed at minimum:

nori seaweed basted with garlic extract

spirulina brine shrimp

LRS herbivore diet

formula 2 flake and frozen

mysis shrimp

small plankton

Add selcon vitamins and garlic extract to the foods for stamina and immunity health

here’s mine now:
