Im Fully Stocked Now

Ok I know that I probably shouldnt have but since the Firefish didnt make it pass the wrath of my tank and I wanted something to control the algae and plants population in my tank I decide to buy a Tang. My LFS just got a few Lavender Tangs in and I really like them. They were $30 and I bought one. I have a few pics but they arent that great cause I just put him in the tank. I hope to get better ones soon. Also sry about the glare. He has already started picking at the plants that have rooted themselves in the tank from the sump.

not trying to be the proverbial wet towel here but those get around 7 or 8in long and will therefore outgrow your tank

I know. We have plans for him when he gets too big.

Point 2 - they don't really eat the algae you have - they tend to pick at diatoms, slime and surface algaes i.m.e. I actually think it might be ok for your tank tho - they are not especially fast growers, and I doubt it will get much past five inches in the next five years.

Nice fish

Cool. Thanks. We might get bigger tank for him. (Our plan is to just get 2 large tanks one for SW and one for FW after we settle down....in a few years.) I have seen him nibble at the grassy algae stuff already. ???

Looks fine Guppy...... I see my yellow tang nibbling at my live rock these days and I actually have him eating romaine. I know it is like candy but I am trying to get him used to eating from the clip so I can attach seaweed or nori and have him eat that....
