Hi guys,

So I have a bare bottom 40 breeder that I've come to terms with the fact that I can no longer house this tang. It's about 3 or 4 inches. Eats like crazy. Other livestock includes 2 clownfish (2 more in an acclimation box/holding box that I'm going to give to the store tomorrow because the 2 bigger clowns literally have been beating up the 2 smaller ones) and 6 snails. Corals are 2 torches, 3 hammers, 2 rock flower anemones, 2 bubble tip anemones (1 rose and 1 green), gsp, Zoas, 2 pocelapora (I think I spelled that wrong), bubble coral, mini carpet anemone, 2 headed Duncan, and an acan. I say that all to say as the corals grow the tang will lose even more swimming space. I only want to rehome the tang because it deserves more swimming space, but I don't have the room for an upgrade so I'm trying to find out other ways to let it go. My LFS will take it but won't give me store credit . I'm willing to trade for another hammer or torch (I love them) or frogspawn but they said no. I WILL NOT GIVE IT TO A PETCO! Please share some options on what I can do with this tang. I've had it for a few yrs and want it to have a better home with space.

Are you in NYC? I’d be open to buying/trading?
 
Time for a bigger tank! Any 6 ft long would work :)
