Agreed, and not to be discriminating the fish but when you can spend the same amount on a gem tang, why go for a pitch black tang? at least the wife will semi-approve a gem tang, but I know my wife will never forgive me for dropping a grand on a black tang.Black longnose tang is unique in it sense and very hardy. It is one of the few tangs that have NOT come down in price.
I haven't seen a gem tang that transitions from dots to lines, but again many fish of the same species do bear different appearances based on geo distribution. Even then, I still think it is an attractive fish. Similarly, many people think the chevron tang is only pretty when small, I disagree, I think adult chevron tangs bear striking features with bright silver lines across its body.I always thought they were overpriced. Yet first time I got to see one in really life, and everytime I'm looking at how nice they look, I say they are well worth the price. They just have charisma pics dont capture. Gems do look very ugly as they grow and pointsdevelop into lines and color fades. Yet different collection points might look different as they grow i feel.
Thanks for the video and all the info, very well put.
Every fish went up in price! I remember the days when damsels cost as much as a betta fish, now you can hardly find any under $10.Black tangs have gone up in price, 6 years ago at MACNA you could get one for $299
True, now let's see if 1) Peppermint angel will ever become readily available, and 2) masked angelfish becomes affordableNaw some things have come down, Gem tangs for one
