Awesome! I picked up a Fowleri a few months ago and absolutely love him. I had been looking for almost two years!Yes I have an Aussie duss in my QT tub awaiting my 960g to get established.
They can be a lil aggressive but for an acanthurus they aren’t near the top. I had a pacific duss that was a lil testy at first to my larger fowleri but then settled in and was fine.
I have a 3.5” fowleri going through ttm at moment and will put him in the 960 first and let him get in for a week before I add the duss. But they will be my on my two acanthurus species.
The rest of my tangs will be zebrasomas and a blonde naso
Waiting to see what the next six months bring. Work has been expanding to new areas, and I am waiting to see if relocation might be an option before I build anything. I think I have caught the Florida fever.They are gorgeous Brandon! I saw one of these in a store somewhere in the last year, and couldn't get over how pretty it and the powder blue that was with it were. Grows to over a foot which I'm sure you have seen, so when is the upgrade coming, because I want to watch lol?
That tilefish is beautiful! Same with the dussumieri. The question is, how reef safe are the larger acanthurids?I know this is an old thread but I love my Australian Dussumieri tang (aka "Deuce"). I've had him for about three years. Started off around 4" and is about 12" now. He has always been the most laid-back tang I've ever had; even when he wasn't the largest in the tank. Now of course he's the man because of his size. I recently transferred tanks due to moving and put him in with my 8-10" Sohal. He could have cared less about the Sohal and the Sohal immediately knew who was the boss. LOL! Sohal is a bit of a bully but he doesn't mess with "Deuce".
For the most part I keep my large tangs in a FOWLR setup and my coral in a smaller tank. That said I recently put my 10 inch Clown tang in my coral tank and he hasn't even looked at any of the coral. Not sure about inverts. Only invert in there is a hermit crab and he hasn't touched it either. In my FOWLR I have starfish and snails and never had a problem with any of the tangs bothering them either.That tilefish is beautiful! Same with the dussumieri.
