| How about the emperor? most of the ones i have seen carry the white spots on them
i can't think of a single one that haven't had those spots, seems like they fade for some time and then come right back. to my opinion i don't think they can live more than a few months in the aquarium <.((((< |

sorry for *****in', guys. i'm just bummed  |
emperor and koles can be some what tempramental , they can be very fickle and and hard to get them to adjust to tank life.
this is a fish only tank right ?
what are you feeding them ? ( or were should i say ) ? |

i've heard that cole tangs are hard to keep, and they are prone to carry desiese. don't know if it's true, but it was a beautiful fish.
anyone heard of thier disease, or difficulty? | My father actually bought one in his tank, he had a bit of ich on him when he got him home and in the tank, he put him in an iso tank he had set up with the um copper treatment goin on. Died i guess about a week or so later when he went back into the regular tank. I really don't know what killed him, the ich, or some other disease. could have been anything. I've heard that they are hard to keep. Absolutely gorgeous fish though.
Good luck =) |
