If already a thread on this with Zebrasoma flavescens specific please point me in the in the right direction, and I will erase this one...

Here is Deuce, (my second, the first one was about 5 years). She is 18 this year. She was named from a friend ....Kiss song, 'you know your man is working hard he's worth a Deuce!' ....well yes she does, also my second so that works.... picks the rocks constant, gets her fill, and then Dulse or nori treat a few times a day along with the general feeding for all.
Curious about your tank size, if you have multiple or not? Mine is smaller at 90 g for this fish tank size wise which its been around 4.5 -5 inches for the last probably 10 years. I've been lucky with her.....she isn't fussy. Show me your YT's in all their grandiose!
Deuce as of late in images.....the boss. Still healthy imo, and spry, youthful lol....
Please share your images and success with the species, I'm still taking notes for pointers....no joke.

Some are really getting to big for my 180 i know I need to rehome a few but they are so spoiled and who will take care of them like I do? All the other fish were on the other side of the tank so you couldn't see them all. I wish I could afford a 400 gal tank so I can keep them .they are family.!.. well heading to bed. Good night... P.S. your tank is beautiful

I agree on the family part. I get super attached. Just got my 1st yellow tang, a baby from Biota. She is so fun to watch. I'm back in the hobby and sold my last tank and fish when I moved. :-( You have some beautiful tangs and a gorgeous tank. Did I see a wrasse in one of the pics? What kind?

I love the yellow tang too. Here is mine. I raised him from about a quarter size not counting the tail.
