Default FS: Chevron Tang (Edmonton)

I dropped into Gold's in Calgary for the first time this weekend and brought back a few fish. One is a Chevron Tang (Ctenochaetus hawaiiensis) that I felt would be a great addition to my 120gal FOWLR system.

While I've successfully mixed Sohal, Regal and Purple tangs in my system - my Sohal simply doesn't like the new addition.

Will someone have room for him in their system? I'm open to reasonable offers.





Thanks!
mwarf

OMG. If you could bring him back to Calgary I'd be all over this one.

Ok, no just kidding. I wouldn't have the space for him right now, so it's just as well I didn't make it into Golds this weekend because I would probably not have had the willpower to not buy him. (Or her, if you prefer. I get in trouble from every girl I know for always calling them "hims".) That is one seriously nice fish. Best of luck finding a new home for him.

PS. Hope you don't mind but I am going to refile this post into the buy/sell livestock forum.

Default Chevron Tang - More Info!

Hi There,

Sorry for the sketchy amount of information in my post, I'll try to elaborate here:

I bought him at Gold's in Calgary for 90 bucks + Tax, I added him to my system last night with the lights off and he seemed to adjust really well. My tank is large enough that he can hide in the rock and not be harassed too much, but my Sohal is "on patrol" and will chase him everywhere the Sohal can fit (my Sohal is 3x the Chevron's Size).

I'm asking 100 bucks to cover my time (I have original receipt), however I'm open to offers to ensure he gets more peaceful tankmates.

p.s. Thanks for the welcome! Happy to be here!

Default just a thought

A chevron is way nicer than a sohal have you thought about getting rid of the sohal instead?

If the chevron is eating I'm not sure I would give up yet. I've had tangs' fight for a month before getting along. So long as he eats and isn't taking serious physical abuse, he'll be fine.

I saw this guy on Sunday....a seriously nice fish.

I'd try it for a while longer myself before giving up, especially if your sohal has been established in the tank for a while.
