Black Tang,koi Tang And Gem Tang

[nismo_32]

HEY GUYS IM LOOKING TO SEE IF ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND A BLACK TANG AND MAYBE A GEM TANG, OR KOI TANG FOR A DECENT PRICE....PREFERIBLY FROM SOMEONES TANK, BUT WOULD OFCOURSE CONSIDER WILD CAUGHT IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT. CAN ANYONE POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION...???THANKS

[Chelsey]

Check out Live aquaria.

[PiXieCath]

Humm...Gem tang and decent price doesn't fit together!:lol: They are very rare(there is a long waiting list for this fish), really really expensive(around 5000$) and normally, a person who own one will not sell it for a good price (if he want to sell it!)...BTW, good luck in your search, I hope you will find what you are searching for!;)

[melanotaenia]

liveaquaria has a gem tang in the divers den right now for 3500

[Kreeger1]

Ive seen gem tangs in the 2500 range lately not 5k. Not that 2500 is any less insane to pay for a fish though. But hey if you've got it and you want it go for it

[nismo_32]

THANK YOU 2400.00 IS A DECENT PRICE...THAT SOUNDS GOOD. THANKS FOR THE INFO....5K IS JUST WAY TO MUCH MONEY....ANYONE ELSE WITH SOME GOOD INFO....???

They have gem tangs at House of Fins right now...I doubt they can command that much $$$ for it

[Mr.A]

yeah except he is in Miami and House of Fins is in Connecticut, near Greenwich. I live pretty close to it

[d9sccr]

Sorry to inform you, but there is a House of Fins in Miami. Check out my location: Miami

Thanks!

[nismo_32]

[nismo_32]

^^This guy has the right contact.

[d9sccr]

that's all I know..sorry

[nava405]

good luck finding all those, and you better have all the money ready. I have a black tang and i paid $250 from someone else's tank ( lucky me). However, then u'll have to take the risk if they die. Spending more money and buy it from store would actully give you something like 14 days replacement or so.

wat's a koi Tang anyway?

[MV_ReEfLoVer]

^^exacly,what is a koi tang ??^^

[trickso_dave]

you's guys seriously pay to much for tangs..over here you'd be luck to pay any more then £500 for a black tank.

No offense, but those big dinner plate sized ones should be left in the ocean to breed. The price on them is going to skyrocket because they overcollected them in Xmas.

[myerst2]

No offense taken but the reason they are expensive is because they are only collected in Christmas a couple of other locals. They are common in other areas where they are not collected. Look at your avatar you should leave the big dracula gobies in the wild so they can breed. Did you get a baby Dracula? In fact it looks like you may even have a pair? So what's the deal?

[R.W.]

thanks for the pics. Its what i thought. Those are hard to come by. The yellow tangs also come in an albino colour variation.

[nismo_32]

hey gasman is that the pic of the one you were going to buy??? oh and by the way thanks for the frags....ill keep you updated on their progress.

[cl2ysta1]

yeah im pretty sure gasman owns that one

there was one that came up for sale at phishy business. I think it was 1,900 dollars

[Reeftanks6]

Very nice pictures they are pretty cool tangs those koi ones. I am not sure if i like the black as much.

[dman17878]
