nismo_32 · 05/06/2008, 01:33 AM

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

Check out Live aquaria.

Humm...Gem tang and decent price doesn't fit together!

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!

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

Kreeger1 · 05/06/2008, 07:58 AM

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

that's all I know..sorry

nava405 · 05/07/2008, 03:51 AM

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 · 05/07/2008, 05:27 AM

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

trickso_dave · 05/07/2008, 05:32 AM

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