Are these through quarantined vendors or just regular purchases? I’m asking because I tried to get a hippo tang through a specific vendor and twice I got hippo tangs that came in emaciated and died within a couple of days. The vendor claims that tangs stop feeding during copper treatment and they don’t have the space to get them healthy before shipping them.
I don’t think it’s anything new. Now that Hawaii is closed to collecting, all go through a very long supply where they are not fed.
no regular Naso...I'll give one last try with a good quarantined vendor.
thank you...good info.
I would want to see it before I purchase one. You would be better off buying from your LFS, if you have a good one near you.
beautiful specimen...I sold everything, including a naso tang that I had for 6 years when I moved from SoCal to Florida...it's become too depressing to get this fish online...will be checking with LFSsDo you have any good local stores? My LFS will special order fish if they are available. Ordering online is a last resort for me because I like to see the fish in person if at all possible.
I get its not an option for everyone.
Hopefully you can have success with one. Mine is my oldest and one of my favorite fish at 8+ years in my care.
Oh no - that’s awful. So what can be done? Just wait and try again?
Yes, and the problem is you have store credit at 3 vendors and you don't want to use it!
