Like title:

This is my Fowleri tang, i have had him for about 2 years. He had matured quite a bit.

When i first got him 2 years ago in my 125:

Here he is now 2 years later and much happier in the 8 ft 300!

Nice fish man. You have me kicking myself for not buying the one that came into LFS a while back. How is the black tang doing?

Looks like Mr. T's brother from a different mother! How big is he?

I was in the same place 4 years ago at my LFS when they got in a weak, timid, little guy. But I can say he is my favorite fish. If you thought a guinea fowl was affectionate; than a Fowleri is on a different level! Black tang is doing great. He is actually just starting to show me his personality. I will take some pics of him tomorrow.

Gorgeous Fowler's!

I've had mine for about 2yrs as well. When we got him he was about 2.5" in complete juvenile colors. Today he is about 4" is coloring up quite nicely and is spectacular, when he is not harassing our new blonde Naso. He is currently in a 185g (5'Lx30"Wx25H"). Next year I am looking to upgrading to an 8'L, haven't figured the exact dimension or capacity yet. I'll see if he will hold still for a mug shot, lol!

Nice! I am glad to hear your success. LOL that is very funny as Mr. T has to be the king of the tank as well. He is very temperamental and will throw a temper tention I kid you not.

Nice He will definitely the love 8' of straight for his laps. I am sure you know, but I would recommend building him a person cave in your new tank; big enough for him to maneuver in. Mr .T is a huge camera hog! It can become annoying when trying to get shots of others with him jetting in last second.
