my yellow tang, had for 5 years, been through a lot -- an amazing fish.

He looks like a sweet guy.

I've had this foxface for about 4 years. It will also bite krill from my fingers, take nori by hand, very awesome fish..

He looks like a sweet guy.

He really is! He's very laid-back for a tang -- but he'll hold his own with the other tangs if he has to. He (like a few of the fish I have) will take krill from my fingers and nori as well.

This powder blue came from the ocean to my tank about 3 years ago. Started off a little shy and was difficult to get eating, but now believes it is the tank regulator and eats everything. It will take krill and nori from my hand, and is an absolute bully to new tankmates.

Great looking fish.

Great looking fish.

Thank you; I promise you the picture fails to really display how stunning this fish is. When the fins are flaired it looks incredible -- really tough to capture that moment though.

I failed to mention in my fish stocking list that I had a Coral Beauty. I've had this fish for about 5 years. The picture might make it look a little too interested in the coral, but I have never witnessed it damage anything. It is fairly shy (swims directly in and around the rock all over the thank) and really tough to photograh.

This Naso tang came from the ocean to my tank about 1 year ago. I was worried he wouldn't survive the torment by the PowerBlue upon introduction so I ordered him along with a Sailfin and Atlantic Tang, hoping to dispurse any aggression. I totally shuffled up the rock work as well, forming new caves for the tangs to quarrel over. I'm down at the beach when I get the call from the LFS that my fish are in (sweet!) --I instructed the staff to leave them in their shipping bags, I'm not risking any additional acclimation. However, they screwed my order up and only the Naso came in.

I likely shouldn't have, but I decided I would pickup the Naso and introduce it alone (I let my excitment overrule my rational thought at this point). This didn't go very well at first.... the Powder Blue was furious! I've tried the mirror trick, I've tried taping pictures of the fish all over the tank -- nothing worked with this PB. I ended up blacking out the tank for 3 days... the Naso didn't eat for the first week and I felt sick, just didn't think it would make it. Well wouldn't you know, here we are a year later.... this fish is so laid back and friendly!
