I've been seeing $450 from one online vendor (Pacific Island Aquatics) for black tangs ranging in size of 2-3.25". I got mine from them and very happy with the purchase.

Added these 2 two days ago.

here's a pic of all 5 dwarfs

Here's my new Christmas Island juv emperor angel. Received this morning and eating flakes & pellets in the afternoon and eating frozen at night. In QT

Thanks Mooncillar01. Here's a video of their interaction at night. http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i287/reeftankpix/?action=view&current=100_0365.mp4 here's the morning feeding of flakes & pellets. Sorry for the reflection of the sun coming through the window off the floor...

I agree totally that the risk is high when dealing with additions below recommended tank size but I feel it can be done if acclimated correctly. Many have said we cannot have multiple angels in a tank, genicanthus is reef safe yet we heard from reefers the ones they added nip and have a taste...

Three things come to mind right away when dealing with GF angels. First, finding a healthy specimen and as with difficult species I prefer them about 3". Reason here is the larger the more difficult to adapt and if too small it's a challenge with the amount of feedings they required. Second...

Here are some of my angels in a 180g fowlr since 2007 1 of 3 lemonpeel--larger one from 2008 and the smaller one from last year blueline--larger one from 4/09 and the smaller one from 10/09 meredithi pair taken back in '09. the larger one from 3/08 and the smaller one from 8/08...

I bought a pair and soon after going into my tank the slightly smaller bluejaw changed with yellow coloration tail and blue on the face. They were fine for a few months then the dominant male started chasing and only got progressively worst. I'd to take one out and the male happened to be...

I'd 3 in a 75 the went with 6 after upgrading to a 180. In Oct 2007 where all 6 were introduced at the same time. I lost 3 last year due to velvet after introducing a Blueline angel. My suggestion is to get them small (where they are usually female) and give it time for the male to emerge...

I wanna get two Flame Angelfish If I introduce them together it will be ok or I have to have only single angelfish If you want two then it's best to add at the same time. You can add later but more difficult once the first one gets established. and there is any visible sings between males and...

Domboski, Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences. Yes, I run carbon and that seems to be the recommendation. And yes the male was not happy early on where he was pacing in front of the tank but has settled in more and swims around looking for food then now. I also came to...

I recommend to feed with Angel & Butterfly Diet and Mysis starting out and once your BF angel eats then you can start with pellets such as NLS. As for tank mates how about a pair of Flameangels and a Lemonpeel angel?

I feel you stand a better chance if you can find smaller specimens where they will be easier to get started with prepared food. The 5" Bluespotted boxfish is very picky where the 3" female will eat pretty much everything I put in the tank. Recently I got 2 small Ostracion Solorensis...

I've researched the web looking for more info on their care but didn't find too much info and even less user experiences. There's some good reading on wetwebmedia on boxfish by Bob Fenner: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/boxfishes.htm I got a pair back on July 15th where the female has been...
