I've never done it before but this is where I must have seen it, on fishing TV. I must have seen them do it numerous times :-) In hindsight I should have just plunked him in my acclimation bucket I guess I was just afraid at the time that the temperature wouldn't equalize quick enough because the tank is in a pretty cold room. Lesson learned!

I used to think that Flames were my favourite angles but this guy is right up there. Just as cool and interesting as my Flame.

I've always loved the potters, just never wanted to add one with my well established Coral Beauty.. I'm sure it would be a Battle Royale!

Kien your passion for the hobby, your fish and your tank is incredible and endearing! Very awesome that it has worked out for your little tang! Glad you did not give up on the little guy/gal! Also LOVE the Potters! If I didn't have a Flame I too would choose a Potters. Gorgeous fish!
GREAT STORY!
