good run down. You go fairly deep and always acknowledge the deeper.
WONDERFUL video! This series of focused breakdowns of types of fish is very helpful. Love watching you. Keep it up!
I love my captive bred Yellow Tang from Biota. She's teeny even after a year which is a-okay with me. She has white areas around her eyes which I am told is part of captive bred issues with Tangs. She certainly eats well so it isn't a nutrition issue I don't think.
This was great. Thanks Hillary!
Thanks! Do you have a favorite tang?
Fantastic video. Thanks
Really excellent explanation, thank you.
Great info. Tangs are my favorite. Very active fish. 👍🏼
That they are! Do you have a favorite?
Water Logged Yes, powder blue tangs. They have beautiful colors and stand out in the aquariums.
Very helpful, thanks.
Thanks for watching, hopefully you learned something new.
Good video - especially the recommendation to use quarantine. You mentioned lymphocystis, so it would be good to note that this disease is caused by a virus that commonly infects fish. The virus generally sits dormant in the fish so you can never really know if a fish has it, unless the virus becomes active. The white skin lesions, which I would describe as nodular-like waxy like bumps, are brought on by stress - which can come from a variety of reason: change of environment, poor water quality (or a sudden change, such as in pH), poor diet, aggressive tank mates, or another infectious agent. Since it’s a virus there is no treatment for it. The best way to deal with it is too remove stressors, which in my experience results in the lesions fading away.
good info to
I have two Blue Hippo Tangs. Yes, there is a little chasing, but they don't fight. They are in a 125 with lots of Live Rock. They were added at the same time. One is dominant, but there are no issues. I wonder if they are male/female and how to tell them apart. No plans on breeding, but I just wonder if that lessens (or eliminates) fighting.
I have a 250gal tank and want to add some tangs but also want to properly quarantine them before. But if I should add the tangs together how would I quarantine them?
Good am. where did you get your sunken ship decor?
One tang thats forgetten in this vid is the Convict Tang. Those are amazing fish but are known to be notoriously difficult to feed since theyre pretty stubborn along with the Moorish Idol which are cousins of tangs. I plan on having a 200 gallon FOWLR tank with lots of fish with minimum amounts of rock and I dream of having sailfins, clown tangs and some other tangs I want to put in there along with juvenile angels and other fish. How many tangs can I keep in a 200 gallon?
Thanks for the video Hilary. I’ve always been afraid to own Tangs because I’ve always heard they are prone to disease. Is there any tang that could thrive in a 70 gallon system (50 in display)? And is it true that tangs love to graze all day? Do I need to give them nori to munch on every day? Thanks and a great first video!
Thank you for watching! Tangs can be prone to some things, head and lateral line especially, but with good care its something that can be managed. As far as tank of 50g, you could probably get away with a Bristletooth tang or a Kole tang especially when they are younger, but I would always recommend going for a larger display if you can. Yes tangs love to graze, you can give them nori each day, or if you have algae in the tank they will graze on that. In this video the back wall of the tank looks bad, but I won't clean it because my tang is always back there picking at it.
I'm just going to give it to you straight. If you want to own Tangs successfully. You need a Quarantine Tank where you can dose copper for the fish. Tangs are prone to have the ich parasite on them coming from the local fish store. So when you buy a tang asssume it has ich. Ich will straight up make you quit the hobby. So get Quarantine Tank and treat the fish for ich for at least two weeks. Then do I 60% water change in your Quarantine and remove the copper. Let the fish remain I am your Quarantine Tank for a month without Copper and see if the ich parasite is still alive. If you don't after a month without copper go ahead and put the fish in your main tank. However if those little white spots show up treat the fish with Copper again.
Hey even everyone does any one got any suggestions on somebody who started marine hobby and as bought him self a scopas tang and. You not had it yet even a week yet but been trying to offer it sea weed on a clip and is refusing to not take sea weed it’s Ignoring it and taking it a different way by me crushing it into little bits and then tang eats it. Is there any suggestions or tips to help me out as I feel like tang never been brought up feeding from a clip as I’m a noob from this hobby thank you for any bits help would be appreciated
Try feeding a variety of foods. Hikari makes a seaweed pellet that most tangs love called Seaweed Extreme. While tangs are herbovores, many times, they'll also eat meaty frozen foods like mysis.

Maybe MD can give her tank a makeover and use it to make a video or something. That thing needs a total overhaul.
Haha admittedly it is not the most beautiful tank, but it is primarily used to house my xxl red hairy hermit crab who is constantly redecorating and moving the rocks.
@@WaterLoggedLife I like the sunken ship. Where did you find that?
@Ted not sure where it came from originally...I inherited it when a friend broke down their tank.
wow 😯 you're beautiful
Fucking hate when people kiss there teeth when they finish their sentence.
Marry me,you're so beautiful 😍 and we share the same passion ❤️
She has a terrible tank, full of algies, the fishes doesen´t appear very good and has a lazy tank, a bad look overall, how she is qualified to give us advices and information?
Extremely disappointed. Thought it ia going to be educational about fish. Ended by product advertisment. Any staff member can do this. Very disappointed
Well, it's a business' channel and businesses like to make money, so I'm not sure why you're bitching.
@@clintparsons3989 do you work with them or a staff member??? No then fuck off and dont respond to me
Somebodys got their panties in a bunch. Next.
Uhhhh, it was educational and like other people said they're a business. Not quite sure what you're expecting for a CZcams channel that's ran by a business.
@@RiskyBiscuits i think you are correct i was expecting it to be more educational since they brought a marine biologist instead of a marketing expert. But you are correct so i simple unsupsrcibed from the channel no one has asked me to be here.
