Yes, we realize he may need to go to a new home eventually but he's pretty tiny right now. We'll be able to enjoy him for awhile.

A very short while as they grow large fast and they are the type of tang that require the most swimming space.

It is not a good idea because you'll get attached to it and will have to sell it. That's why I am selling my hippo tang because I want to do it before I get too attached to it. I also have a 75 gallons reef and my hippo which is not supposed to grow fast, grew 1 inch in 2 months. it's now 3 1/2". Those fish need a lot of food and if they don't get it they will be stunted and difformed and will suffer from HLLE. If they do get the food, they will grow fast.

I say get the Kole Tang and name him Naesco and keep the pictures coming.

FYI, I have always kept a chalk bass or two and I have never witnessed them being aggressive with anything other than conspecifics or fish that look or are shaped like them.

Well, we're seriously considering a 150 gallon tank so I'm not going to make any hasty decisions. The tank size may grow as the fish grow, LOL.

The 2 tangs are best of pals now and follow each other around. Pretty cute. Too late, we're already attached to "Junior". I have the Blonde Naso and one of our clowns eating from my hand now too. He's added a real personality to the tank for sure.

I'm really digging the chalk bass for some reason. When we up-grade I'll get one I think.

lol! Hard to avoid falling for those cute naso! Looks like you have a 150 gallons in your future. That's the problem when we buy fish and they have a great personality...we can't avoid getting attached.

progressive has a killer deal on there 180.
when the $ is there to do it all, if not, if the $ is there to at least get the tank, put it aside for a while.

my 350 is also for sale in a few months (I think at least) but you have to get it out. as we are hoping to move, and from there go for a bigger tank

bigger than 350 gallons!?? wow! Hope you will do a tank thread when you strat that monster. What is the price deal on the 180 gallons?

I think maybe 350 might be a little too ambitious for us this time around. Would LOVE all the action in it though. One day maybe.....

:)

Ya, this is a pretty good deal. Anyone looking for a 180 should look into it.
