Powder Blues...?

[EmilyB]

I think the worst experience I ever had with a fish was the powder blue.

Beautiful fish.

I must have gotten lucky. Come late April, I will have had my Powder Blue for 4 years. It has survived the the intial move from the store to the 135 I used to have, and two other tank transfers...the second of which involved a 20 minute car ride in December '06. I've seen a few spots of ich on it only twice, and that was in the early going. The only thing that frustrated me about it was it used to splash at the surface. But I solved that by putting a partial glass top on the tank. I take your guys word for it that they are difficult. Mine is a success story. Lucky, I guess.

Cheers,

I think it comes down to tank size and mates. I've had little trouble with keeping PBT, they're just as easy as a Yellow tang if provided with the right environment.
