Koi scopas tangs

[Marcus H]

I dunno if anyone's interested but I spotted a couple nice looking koi scopas at under the sea in rohnert park. The dark blue and brown coloration. Never seen one in person. They had a big achilles too. Too spendy for me but were neat.

They seem to have a lot of stuff there and nobody talks about that place. What's the deal?

I don't know. I have been there a few times just to check them out. They were in the process of expanding. Staff was very friendly. I have heard comparisons to 6th Ave. Honestly, so few places do any kind of QT(ie high tide) that I think one place is probably just as good as another in terms of disease transmission and overall health. The only concern I had was the number of fish per tank. That does seem to add more stress to the fish. I think if you plan on doing your own QT or are OK with the risk then it is worth a shot. They always seem to have a lot of availability and can get stuff in that other places can't.

I’ve been to violet old store and seen his qt system up close. I can tell you it’s not a true qt. More of a tmm. I think he’s more into volume than anything else. But I haven’t been there in a long time.
Oh and his tanks did have ich. So be careful if your thinking your getting a fish that has been quarantined the right way.

Ahh but they aren't from what I can tell. You can tell be the reflection from the water around the highest point of the fish. They're barely submerged, not much better, Not how I want to see them handled.
