I think I finally found my Holy Grail fish.

I started looking for a white tail bristletooth tang before my tank ever finished cycling. A couple came up (mostly at NY Aquatic IRC). Never could get my order placed. Fast forward to about a week ago when I found a fish listed as a "juvie white tail tang". I took a chance as the company has been very good to deal with in the past and this is what I received today from Pacific East Aquaculture.

Starting to change in to adult colors. Is this C. flavicauda?

Sure looks like one to me. Congrats.

Very nice! What size tank are you going to keep him in?

Grats man! I love this fish as well. It used to be listed on live aquaria but was always out of stock.

Very nice! What size tank are you going to keep him in?

72X24X21, 155 gallon. Probably will be the only tang.

Plenty of swimming room. Man that's a cool fish!

That's a gorgeous looking fish, I love the "eyeliner" that makes him look so cheerful. Nice catch! :]
