wanted: yellow tang

tman23 · Sep 22, 2011

I seem to be facing a bubble caulerpa infestation in my DT, so...
I'm looking for a healthy small/medium sized yellow tang that has been kept in someone's tank for at least a couple months.... anyone?

We have a scopas tang that has been in a customer's tank for 3 months and then came here for about a month now.

Good luck with the infestation i just went through that, the only fish that i found that would even come close to getting it under control was a rabbit fish i used the scribbled rabbit and a one spot fox face. They tore it up but for some reason after about a month the fish would die, my personal opinion was they ate them selves to death. I had it so bad that i would reach in and pull out gallon pitcher fulls at a time just so it would stoo killing off my corals. The only way i was able to get rid of it was about 20 gallons of bleach and a brute trash can, got rid of all my sand and bought new. Good luck!!!!

AquaWorld: Thanks for the info. While I do want it to be a utility fish, I was looking for something with a bit more color than a scopas... but thanks!!

falconerr: it doesn't sound like my problem is nearly as bad as what you described, yet. hopefully I can take care of it before it gets that bad! thanks for the info!

Hope no one ever gets it as bad as i did but if you see the bubbles turning white that means it goning to spread. Think that means its gone asexual i thought it was dying but some one in the local club here told me different and thats when it took off. Good luck wouldn't wish that on any of my fellow reefers. Except mayne some of the mods on rc. Rotflmao!!!!
