Awesome Vlamingi. I got one a couple of months ago & I'm hoping that mine will also turn out to a be beautiful male with streamers & awesome colouration.

Because "he" is so huge, it is easy to forget that Freckles is still a baby. He has not yet been in the tank for 2 years. (2 years in Jan, 2010) It seems that shortly before 2 years old, he suddenly developed tail streamers confirming that he is, in fact, a he.



The timing is about right, IME. I added Moe (the blonde Naso) almost 2.5 years ago and when I purchased him he was at least 1 year old judging from his size. He first began to show streamers about 1 year after purchase. Now, at about 3.5 years old, his streamers are just getting more stunning all the time.


So....is my youngest next? Lance (the unicorn), has only been in the tank for 18 mohths and was a small juvenile when purchased. I don't even know if Unicorn Tangs develop tail streamers but his tail looks like "he" might. I could get get lucky for a 3rd time!

Hey brad

Thanks for allowing Ken and I to come over and gauck at your incredible setup. I'm already in negotiations with the wife to come to some sort of deal with getting a new much larger setup.

My invitation is always open for you to come look at my setup anytime.

Xmas came a bit early to my house. I bought a new TV and so I had to renovate much of the basement. I think the room is much improved as I can now sit and enjoy the TV and the aquarium at the same time. Next up..new seating!



....and a nice picture of Ripple, who is feeling blue because he can't see the TV as well as before.

That's my dream chill room right there! Nice xmas gift... 50"?

Ha...ha.. I guess the wall is making the TV look smaller than it is....

I guess I should have put a nice aquarium photo up there on the screen.

... 65" ... Final Guess! It is pretty deceiving at first glance.

Wow Brad, thats pretty awesome to hear that that method actually works. I've heard a lot about people "planning" to do it but never heard any of the results. I'm glad it worked out for you (even though when I was there last I never really saw the scratches, hard to see them past the gorgeousness of the tank contents ).

That room looks great! As always the tank is inspiring for those of us working up to a bigger tank.
