yellow tangs on Biota!!

I'd really like to have one but my tank just won't work with it.
 
The poor things always look so scrawny when my LFS gets them in. Glad they grow quickly!

Lol. That isn't nice (TEASING!). I've not purchased a Yellow from them yet but I know the other fish that I have arrive small. Scrawny as you suggested. But they do grow quickly. My Gold Lined Rabbit probably the fastest out of all I have so far. Size of a US $0.25 quarter and now pushing 6" in a year. Darn thing is going to force me to upgrade...

There are a few large yellow tangs in the tanks of my LFS, so when they get the Biota ones in they're these skinny, pale cartoonish versions side-by-side ... And expensive - $250 CAD per!

Ive noticed that- Its like a trademark.
Reminds me of the popular sharPei puppies with their wrinkled bellies

You know I was so weary of getting one for this reason but decided to pull the trigger after loosing my adult yellow. Glad I did, he colored up and fattened up so fast! His name is Chip since he looks like a potato chip! The one in the clear bucket is when I first got him and was acclimating him. Very happy with him!! @Biota_Marine :)
