+Hydro Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I just got this fish and its in pretty bad shape, but its eating well so I think that it will be fine. I bought this at gallery of pets and they called it an orange rimmed tang, which I have never heard of. I really like the colors of it and I don't think that its a common fish....unless its colors change which they can. You can barely see but it has a yellow spot behind its gills.

cmanning Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 It looks like the Chocolate Tan (Acanthurus pyroferus). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesR Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Pyroferus for sure. Still pretty young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hydro Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 I really like this fish! It's has very graceful movements if that makes sense, its not a typical tang. This one is very docile, we are glad we picked it up and would suggest having one. Its hard to explain but its fins are soft and flowing, it never extends them. His new home will be the 440 gallon, lucky fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
