If you have a large Tang that needs a new home I have a friend that setup a 230G which currently has 2 yellow tail damsels and a couple cleaner shrimp

Or Large Angel for that matter ... the tank is 66" L X 24" D X 34" H

I might be able to help you out. I have a fairly large yellow tang that unfortunately looks like he may be needing a new home.

I don't want to give him up because he's the first fish that I purchased and the only original in my tank but he's outgrown his home. His dorsal fin is in rough shape but I think it's because he's not getting the proper nutrition and the small confines. If your friend is still interested let me know.

Hey Chris ... that is just what they are looking to do is to rescue some fish that are too big for their current tanks ... That Yellow Tang sounds perfect ... they are going to limit the number of fish to 9 I think so whoever gets in will have lots of swimming room.

I will send you a PM with my phone #'s

How about a fimbriated moray eel

Steve, sounds good....I'll give you a call later on today and we'll see what we can arrange for the transfer. I think it might take me a bit to net him.

Not familiar with that species Rob ... anything special as far as tankmates and special needs ? ... they dont have a secure enough cover for a eel though but I will ask. it would mean that I would have to make the cover

Well, He has never tried to Escape yet! However he does really have a taste for YTBD. Does not seem to bother Large fish, No problems with my coral beauty for instance. He does need to be hand fed a few times a week(Use Tongs). I just feed him Pieces of fish, shrimp etc. He is pretty cool looking, olive coloured body with spots, and kind of blue ring around his eyes.

He is about 12" now can get to 36" in Captivity. If you are interested let me know, and I will try to figure out how to catch him!

Hey Rob ... They are looking more at fish it seems but I am building a new tank in the next month or so and would be very interested in that eel ... how long can you hold him for me ?

It will probably take me that long to figure out how to catch him!
