Just a 180 gallon for now but going to upgrade to a much bigger tank in a couple years

I had one in a 150 for about 3 years. Growth slowed down after about 11 inch, but color became more intense afterwards.

My tank crashed in the beginning of the year. A hermit crab blocked my overflow when I was out of state for a funeral.

Hi, one of the nicer pics of my Dussemeri tang. Thanks

I REALLY want one of these...some day... I don't think he'd be happy in my 50g cube :D so I've got to wait on the upgrade...

These guys are semi aggressive, require Large tanks 210-500 gallons recommended, and only get more colorful as they mature. They eat at least 2oz of food per day and grow quickly. I have one at 9" ( see pics below) and they do get along with others as in my 2nd pic.
In my third pic- this is the potential colors you will see on a dussomieri. They are not cheap in price often seen from $199 to $399 but offer all the color you would want !!

The 3rd image is highly filtered. Look at the neon sand color. Lol

Yes the balance is off but they are extremely beautiful. The aussies are brighter than the pacific. And more costly
