Myka vs Valonia Round 672

[Ryan]

Myka that was me that said that. I had a 1" Regal in my 24 x 12 and in comparison to his size he has more simming room than an Adult regal in a 220 gallon.

like you said though will a person actually follow through with their upgrade or is there going to be a big tang in a small tank.


I do agree tangs need alot of swimming space and the only reason I bought him was because of me upgrading. Poor little guy would get lost even in a 70 gallon.

I was referring to someone else who said that, I know who it was, just don't want to post names. I don't remember this story about your Regal. Of course I have a memory like a sieve...catches the big stuff, but the details go down the drain. Was there a thread about your tang?

I should start using a tool. I just use the end of my siphon tube to dislodge them. A little pick would work much better. Thanks for the advice!

Make sure you give the rock a good little scrape. They seem to have a small root structure and appear to grow back if you dont get it all.
