New Gem Tang

[secret_reefer337]

Since I’ve got the go signal from the boss to upgrade my 120 to 210, I pick up the last fish (hopefully) to join the current residents when we move them in a month. This beauty costs me big time, $350 + tax. The gem is about 4”. Currently housed in the qt tank, will start a prophylactic treatment to make sure the tang is clean since it will join the rest of the gang once we move to bigger tank. Currently I have powder blue, purple, yellow and tomini in my 120 gal.
There it is:

This is the gang it will be joining in a month or so:

Beautiful. Congrats on the upgrade.

I once saw a Gem Tang for 300 at a LFS and was so tempted... but I have a 60G cube.

It took me a while before I finally decided to jump into the wagon, if I am not upgrading, I will not gamble.

it’s been in the LFS for almost two weeks and is eating well, so hopefully it will continue to be as is.

Beautiful fish. I will be curious to see hear how it goes when you introduce him into your existing tang gang. Are you going to use an acclimation box when you put him in the tank with the other tangs?

Beautiful tang.
I'd like either a gem or a black tang to complement my two.
I love tangs.
Good luck with the introduction!!!

I will be upgrading my tank, so they will be introduced to the new tank at the same time.

A year this coming April. Some fish and corals are from my old 40 breeder and bio cube.

That’s the smart way to do it. Please keep us posted.

Why not a pair?

300!? My lfs wants 1200 bucks for a gen tang guess that is in canadian dollars but still!

$350. That's nutty. I'd commit murder for a gem tang that cheap. Consider me jealous, Gems are gorgeous fish.

I suggest moving the purple to a holding tank with the gem separated by egg crate then intro them to the new tank together. The more time you can get them to know each other while you can control it the better. Once they are both in the dt it's the Coliseum

Gem tangs are so sexy. If my gf agreed to one, we would probably be married already.
