Today we are going to do a spotlight on one of my favorite fish. The Purple Tang. Hopefully you learned something from the video! Thanks for watching!! Music by @ikson / ikson
Great video! Love my purple tang.. he’s a small guy but he holds his own against my butt head tomini who leaves him alone now when he realized he wasn’t going to run and hide..yours looks beautiful can’t wait to see my little guy turn into what yours looks like..
Thanks for the video! Very useful. Quick question; what kind of bristletooth is the purple one with the purple tail with the orange above the eyes? It looks gorgeous but unfamiliar (to me).
Great video hows the purple doing with the yellow and sail fin ? All still getting along ? About to put my new purple tang into my 1200lt tank that already has a yellow, sohol, lavender, sail fin, convicts, blue powder, blue hipoo and vlamingi tangs..
A couple of these may help, add the least aggressive fish first, add some of the more aggressive fish in groups of 3 or more at the same time. Like the zebrasomas. Also feeding heavily will help curve some of the aggression as well. Good luck 👍
Sometimes you might nor be able to add the most aggressive last such as in my experience just depending on availability. I added each one late at night ...when all is calmed. Even though the most aggressive is the sohol , I added my sail fin, convicts, yellow tang , blue powder and blue hippo all after the sohol and at different stages ( one by one) no issues all living happy ..but it helps having a large tank. About to add a purple tang tomorrow night
That's a mimic tang, There are a couple different color variations in the juvenile stage as they mimic different fish but I believe their adult coloration ends up being the same.
So Beautiful fishes

I believe the one you are referring to is the yellow eye kole tang
Nice info I just bought a purple tang
Hows it doing ? I also bought one two weeks ago about to finish TTM and go into my DT with 10 other tangs.
I like this video
Thank you
my tank hotel is full but i love the purple tang is one of my favors

Everyone is getting along just fine. The sailfin hasn't grown much over the last couple of years but still doing fine.
@@BlueCarbonReefing thats great to hear. Hope it stays that way look forward to your next video
What was your method to introducing so many tangs successfully?
A couple of these may help, add the least aggressive fish first, add some of the more aggressive fish in groups of 3 or more at the same time. Like the zebrasomas. Also feeding heavily will help curve some of the aggression as well. Good luck 👍
Also adding the most aggressive as babies is key

What size tank are you showing here? Amazing tank!
It's a 400 gallon tank
Thanks!
Where can I get one?
Hey! What’s that half grey half black tang?
That's a mimic tang, There are a couple different color variations in the juvenile stage as they mimic different fish but I believe their adult coloration ends up being the same.
Do you know of any tank requirements for blue tangs?

I did a video on that. Check it out here.. czcams.com/video/3XCC6v4WV-U/video.html
@@BlueCarbonReefing That is great! I will check the video. Thank you.
Same all tangs requirements are almost the same ...
Blue tang do grow very large though
you sound like courageJD
Thanks. I'd be happy with his subscriber count.. lol
Panther grouper plz
I've never kept one before unfortunately. They are not reef safe
I can't even find any under $250 even at 3 inches
Times are different right now. With a global pandemic a lot of industries are hurting which will definitely affect the price.
@@BlueCarbonReefing I actually been looking since early last year
@@stevencheng5722 good luck 👍. I hope you can find one at a good price soon.
@@BlueCarbonReefing thanks
Did you ever find one? NY Aquatic has some on their website for $100 plus shipping. Was going to order one but ended up finding one at my LFS.
