Beautiful animals, however I do not have the tank size for one. No more than 35-40usd., would I pay.

Probably 150. They have been cheap in the US for a long time prior to the shutdown. LFS had them for $45 before the shut down. But.... Its one the most sought out fish over seas especially in the china, Japan area and they have been paying well over $500 for them for a long time. I'm sure that price has skyrocketed as well.

$43, however the last yellow tang I bought was $15.99

 

[LovestheReefer]

$200 due to these circumstances

Didn’t like them then, not gonna start now. Achilles is the other hand ...

 

[CanuckReefer]

25 bucks first go round, 30 bucks the last one 17 years ago, still swimming. Would go again once this guy eventually kicks it in 20 years .... but no more than 100 for any fish this guy....

Paid $1,000 for mine in 2013. Came with a bunch of other fish, corals, a tank and some equipment thrown in.

$0

 

[REEFTIDE]

$80 is the most I've ever paid retail. He was a really nice yellow tang

 

[drblakjak55]

For tang lovers it’s a beautiful fish. Well behaved and always grazing. I’d like to say 99$. Or I can trade you for a twelve polyp Utter Chaos. Get my drift

$40. There are much nicer looking Tangs out there.

 

[Justin Swinney]

100$. Any higher and I’d just get a purple

 

[Typhon]

$100 max, unless they are captive bred.

 

[kingjoe]

Reckon I'd pay ~$200 for a quarantined one. Or captive bred.

 

[Fishy Jacket]

$150 for quarantined one.

Building a new tank and on the market for some Tangs to start QTing. I was considering paying the $150 for a Aquacultured specimen from Biota; but even then it still feels like too much! Especially after always seeing them at LFS preban for $40. I ended up snagging a Purple Tang for $160 instead. Never thought my first Tang would be a Purple!! This whole situation really makes me want to wait the two years (hopefully less) for the ban to end before considering a Yellow Tang again unless the prices come down.
