Some fish for sale:

purple tang is about 4-5", eats like a pig, had him for over a year--no pics $60

pair of onxy true percs--female retained her coloring, but male lost his colors due to rose BTA hosting. male can easily gain his colors back. both are healthy as heck, had for about 6 months. came from the Sumatran Islands (as Liveaquaria diver's den said) $80 for both.

Bump for good fish!

True percs loose their color when hosted by RBTA's? I wondered why mine lost their color.

To all who inquired, here's a (lousy) pic of the purple tang.

A lot of them will lose their blacks when hosted by a RBTA, but this isn't the case for all of them. The orange should stay just as bright, though.

If you remove their rbta, the black comes right back (I've never done it myself), but if you check RC's clownfish forum, a lot of people show their before rbta, after rbta, and rbta taken away pics :)

purple tang went to his new home today, he's happily at home in a forest of hair algae and a few different caulperas.. Thanks again, really sharp looking fish..
