Purple Tang For Sale - 4"/4.5"

[Ben Pedersen]

I have a beautiful healthy 4/4.5" Purple Tang for sale. I have had it for more than 4 years. It eats everything and is quite robust. I would like to sell it because it has become aggressive towards my much smaller convict tang and new fish.

Local pickup (near 48197 Michigan). Purchased for $190, selling for $150.

Thank you! Here is a full tank shot. This is from earlier this year. I am completely out of room and planning to move into a 300 gal next year Lord willing.

That is stunning! One of the nicest symphyllia colonies I've seen.

I have had it for 10+ years. It's around 12" x 9". It just started pushing again the glass. I need to move it before it starts to deform

Good problem to have! Sorry, didn't mean to derail your thread but I had to comment.

You might be able to reintroduce him after a few weeks of being in jail. I’ve seen a lot of success stories this way. He’s a beautiful fish too bad about the aggression

I was thinking the same thing but not sure I want to risk it. I dont think I will ever be able to catch him again.

My purple tang was pretty aggressive at first to my Fairy wrasse and Goby but he calmed down thankfully. Still makes it hard AF to feed the other fish though he is quick

Price drop to $110.

I had the same problem with my purple when I added my Achilles tang to the tank. I tried the mirror trick and it didnt work so I put the purple in the fuge for 2 weeks then reintroduced him. This time the Achilles was the bully so I tried the mirror trick and it worked. After 3 days of the mirror both get along fine.
