Dussumieri Tang - WTB

[armyvetheather]

Looking for a Dussumieri Tang - size really doesn't matter. Not looking to pay $1000, you can find them retail but would rather get from another reefer. Will be going into 450 gallon tank (not including sump).

Marine collectors says they have two for a lot less than you are willing to pay. NOTE: I have never dealt with them. Absolutely wonderful addition. Good luck

Yeah, I was looking to pay maybe half or less of that. I appreciate you taking the time though!

Just so you know, as with mine, this fish grows quickly to 10-12" and develops a temper with other fish

NY Aquatics always has them

I think I saw some on violet aquarium’s website the other day. Not sure price, as I wasnt looking for those but worth a look. They have some pretty reasonable prices Ive found and healthy fish!

I understand and thank you! I have a 450 gallon (w/out sump) and very few fish in there. I would like to add the dussumieri to the three docile tangs I have now. They're all still small so I'd like to get a small to medium and allow them all to grow together. I enjoy that part of it.

I actually did try to reach out to them a few times but I never got a response, and after reading mixed reviews... Not sure what to do. Hate to blindly send my money without hearing back.

OP check this out

So I tried to order an emp angel from them. The guy called me back to tell me they looked not good and wanted to sub with something else. He gave me a fish that was 70 dollars more than the emp and it came in great health! Also recently got my white eye moray eel from them. Usually they take a few days to settle and eat but this little guy ate for me on day one and is very healthy. Here he is today! Had him about a month now.

That's really great to know! I just wish someone would say something so I'm not wondering if they're out of business! I heard from one guy today who says he'll have some that have gone through qt after the holiday, if not I may give them another try.

That's unheard of. If I don't find a Dussumieri I can get this week I may just have to do that. Appreciate the tip!

Yeah! I reach the guy by phone. I can look and see if I can find the number and PM it to you

That size tank will be fine
