Hi all I would like to know your opinions on these Tangs, the Scopas and the Chocolate / Mimic Tangs. I know the Mimic is an Acanthurus which many say is a difficult genus but is this one any different? How big can we expect most of them to get? FishBase says 12” and LiveAquaria says 10”.
Maybe more people will start looking at the Scopas because I fear by 2021 Hawai’i will no longer be exporting Yellows. Captive Bred ones don’t make it to my part of the world (China) very quickly. FishBase says 16” and LiveAquaria says 1’.
Actually I read a study that says the Scopas and Yellow may be the same species and that the Yellow is just a variation of the Scopas.
What size tanks would these two need long term?
