Yellowfin Tang - Acanthurus xanthopterus

[jonmedina]

Breaks my heart, but the yellowfin tang (Acanthurus xanthopterus) that started the hobby with me needs to go. He's been in the same tank for a few years and he's just getting too big. Idk who's bright idea (not mine) it was to get him in the first place, as he needs 250+ gallons absolute minimum. He's still young, he's going to get a good bit bigger.

He's about the size of my hand, super healthy and beautiful. All fish in the tank have either been with me for years or been purchased from Kenny. Free to good home. Must be an established club member with a big enough tank to home him.

Good luck to the fish
Home it finds a worthy tank over 250 gallons
They are few and far between

If you get stuck, I'll pay for shipping to Vegas and it can live in my 300, but I hope someone local can take it.

Live aquaria says min 360 though, so here's to hoping someone local with a bigger tank than I have can take it.

@H2OPlayar - you're a good person, thank you. I'll be in Vegas in August. If we can't find someone local before then, I'll bring him. Came with the tank when I got it and he deserves a better spot.

Beautiful fish. This thread probably needs to move to the PIF section since you are not selling him.
