[lx’sreef]

Just got this little guy in , first time seeing a Aquacultured purple tang , couldn’t resist the temptation to pick him up for new tank hopefully he doesn’t outgrow my 55 gallon to fast.

Nice 20 years!!!!! , it’s sounding like i can also use it as excuse to get bigger tank in a few months

If you have a volume of 55 gallons, I hope that tang is the size of a quarter!

I saw some about a month and half back super tiny, they had ick and when asked where they were sourced from they didn’t know if they were wild caught or Aquaculture.But that good to know incase anyone want to buy one on the low. This guy ran me $280 bucks QT from Oceon devotion LA

That seems like a great deal for aquacultured and qt!

That one heck of a deal then !! I know they come from quality marine aquaculture facilities, but I’m wondering if Petco would sell you straight from the manufacture once it lands to prevent it touching there water and prevent ick and what not . The last thing you want to do is run copper on something that small.

Petco on Blossom Hill in San Jose has a decent collection and the guy said that he can order any fish and hold it in the bag if you come and pickup at the stated time of delivery.. I personally hvnt ever bought livestock from Petco
