Tomini Tang.

[Cichlid Dad]

Ok, I broke down and got my tang today. A 2 inch Tomini. He was fat, grazie in the tank at the store and they had him for three weeks they said. 59.95 I hope I didn't over pay. Anyway he is my first tang . Tank mates are all adult , copperband, one spot fox, niger trigger, yellow tailed damsel ( not aggressive) and a falcon hawk. The tang dove into the rock upon entering so I haven't been able to enjoy him yet. But hay I have a tang LOL

Oh yeah, for the tang police it's a 120

Update: tang is out and so small! Just a tiny bit bigger than the yellow tailed damsel. Still hanging close to the tunnel he has chosen. Damsel is the only fish to challenge the tang. It didn't go as planned as the tang showed his tail back to the damsel and the damsel backed off. Good progress.

What do you feed him? I got a baby Tomini yesterday, too He is eating my algae on the rocks and eating blanched peas, but overall doing perfectly fine. I ordered sea veggies a few days ago and will come Monday.

I feed nori to my fox face so it's available but he mostly eats off of the rock and eats frozen fed two times a day. But mostly just the algae from the rock all day.

Upstate on the Tomini, he has outgrown the yellow tail by a bunch. He has been out and about when I sit at the tank and now will come over and say hi

Tomini tangs have an interesting character, they’re shy at first and hide away until they get to know you, and what’s interesting is that every time someone new looks at the tank, it’ll immediately hide back, which indicate their ability to recognize humans.

It’s an awesome fish, enjoy it!
