Yes, but you can get rid of ich!
p.s. Got my avatar back up.

Is that an Atlantic Blue Tang in your Avatar? Do you have one?

Yes it is. I bought it when it was a yellow juvenile and had it for 8 years. It became the boss of the tangs.
When I was transporting my tangs in buckets when we moved, the car ahead of me stopped suddenly. I slammed on the brakes but the buckets and fish went everywhere. With the exception of the powder brown (japonica)(which I still have), I lost all my tangs.

Sorry to hear about the loss.

The reason I asked is because I have a Juvenile Atlantic Blue. I got him in Sept. and he was about 1.75" and now he's around the 3.5" mark. He's still yellow though and I'm kinda curious as to when he'll change to blue. He's alittle darker now but that's about it. Did it take long for your tang to change from yellow to blue? How fast did yours grow?

Sorry for jackin' your thread Ruth..

No problem I am curious as well. Also would like to hear about Naesco's system and perhaps see some pictures. He obviously has an affinity for Tangs which I share so would love to hear about his system and what Tangs he has/is keeping.

As I recall it was about six months from the time I had it to when it started turning.
My tank was a nine footer and contained the following tangs.
Powder brown, atlantic blue, vlamingi, yellow, kole and oragne shoulder.

I no longer have the tank (the powder brown is in my son's tank).
I am in the process on setting up a new one but it will be an angel tank this time.
After eeking out all the experience everyone has with angels, reading up on the species and keeping them for a while, beware.
