White tail bristletooth tang...finally

[saltyhog]

This is a fish I've wanted ever since I decided to get in to the hobby. Finally after a year and a half and two other tries I have a healthy one. Got him from Pacific East Aquaculture. Highly recommend them. He's eating mysis, nori and Larry's very well. Last tank transfer tomorrow and then to my cycled QT for a couple rounds of Prazipro and observation.

There was one on Diver's Den yesterday and there were some on another on line vendor (that I had a not so good experience with recently). Watch Pacific East. They have been getting a few fairly often lately. Never have gotten anything from them that wasn't healthy and well packaged for shipment.

This guy/gal is still transitioning to full adult colors as you can see from the residual yellow on the tail. I expect it's color will improve over the next few months. It was very fat when it arrived and has already learned to associate me with food.

These are salt water right?

This is a salt water forum, so besides one section relating to freshwater, everything you see is related to saltwater.

Thanks hog. Yeah he has changed a lot but he's not quite as pretty as your guy. Wow I love the blue lips! I can't wait for mine to get fully colored.
