Dussomieri has gotten huge quickly. . . from 3 to 6" in 3 months

Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder with this one... So your "unicorn" is literally a unicorn - did I get that correct?

PS. You couldn't find a smaller one?

Can't believe I missed your build thread this long! Beautiful tank you got there, and I'm super jealous of the Dussumieri tang! I used to take care of one that was over a foot long and was my absolute favorite fish. So much personality, I even was able to hand feed him and he liked his chin rubbed!

 

[tweeter]

I love, love, love your tank!!!

Always look forward to see pictures of your tank. What do you feed your fish to grow so fast? Or is it just the size of your tank help with faster growth?

I think we have to point out the Copperband has lived that long with yellow tangs for 5 years? Wow nice
