Brad is right and Brad is lucky.
I would not consider this fish though. In any event he japonicus is much nicer looking.
I have had the fish for seven years.
Do not buy the tangs unless you know where they came from.
They need to be alert, clear eyes, spot free and plump and eating. If not pass on the fish.
Get ready for it by arranging the following.
1. Buy some garlic extract from the health food store.
2. Buy some spirulina discs and unflavoured nori.
3. Buy some selconm
4 Have your temperature at 82F
5. Salinity at 1.025
6 Provide a clear area for the tang to swim from one end to the other unencumbered by coral or rock
7. Add at lease one more powerhead about nine inches from the top of the tank. This provides current for the tang to swim into and also adds more oxygen into the tank.
8. Do water change tonight.
Let me know if you need help
