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 Last edited by mwarf; 07-26-2007 at 02:28 AM.

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.

Hey I may be willing to buy him but not sure what he's worth what did you pay? and how much you asking?

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!

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

I was told to put up mirrors against the outside of the tank to distract the aggressor for a while and it worked great for me. I got a yellow and a purple tang that really had it in for each other to become best friends in about two weeks. Might be worth a try.

It helps if you change the surroundings a bit as well ... if possible move some rocks around to distract the Sohal ... he is the most aggressive and lucky he is much larger so will have no problem establishing his dominance without having to kill the Chevron.
He is a very nice looking fish so maybe hang in there a bit longer to see if he can work things out ( especially if he is eating ). If not it would seem there are any number of good homes he can goto.
