|  Ok which tangs are easy to keep
HI,
I had a pretty little yellow tang that was nice looking seemed healthy, no problems with the tank he seemed happy eating the spirella flake and cleaning the rocks, 
My system is well cycled no real problems that I am aware of.
He just dissapeared.
Jeeze not sure why,
My primary tanks has a common tang no problems and numerous other fish.
All share a sump.

Check the floor, lol. If you have a lot of crabs, there will not be any remains if it died. _________ Got Questions? Need Answers?

I was going to say the same thing but thought it might have been the angle of the pic. Good catch Breed

55G may be a little small for a Tang causing stress to the fish
Yes Sorry about your loss | |

They are actually considered a Moderate Care Level Fish and are much more prone to Ich than a Yellow Tang. Quote:

| THis VIdeo was take the DAy the tang disappeared
HI,
My daugter came over fathersday and had a small nikon camera and shot this video you can see the tang was healthy and was gone the next day, never to be seen.
Stumped.. No fish to be found.. YouTube - Finding Nemo
It was a cute video her first considering it was a simple camera no tripod, man it was a pain to edit down to 100 meg it lost considerable resolution considering its 140+ meg in the orignal format, had to convert to mpeg1. Jeeze I tried Winwoes and it was not in the correct format ,but my Nero software did compress it down and converted to Mpeg.
