    Does saltwaterfish.com have any kind of guarantee? I know some other sites have a 15 day guarantee. I am not sure if that guy will last for 2 weeks. Also, remember they list a MINIMUM gallons not an IDEAL. If he does make it, you might be able to keep him for a little while, but he will outgrow your tank!

    +1 to adding garlic to try and entice him to eat.

    Adults are hard to get eating. I feed mine Julian Sprung purple seaweed and she loves it. Also try putting a piece of broccoli on a clip in there for them to chew on

    Well, I just heard back from saltwaterfish.com. They credited my account for the full purchase price of the tang, no questions asked. Just emailed them the same pictures I showed you guys, and they appologized. I got it to finally eat a couple bites of nori today, and tomorrow I'm gonna go pay the outrageous prices at my LFS for some garlic guard to try and stimulate some hunger. I may just try and GIVE the thing to my LFS, since they won't take trades.

    Just get minced garlic from the supermarket and use the juice from that. It's the exact same thing but costs $2-$3 a jar ;)
    And just so you know, you will have to spend an outrageous amount on more livestock before you are even eligible to use your credit ;) Saltwaterfish.com's return/credit policy is about the worse in the business.

    Nasos are one of my favorite. Where do you live?

    Yeah if you were closer I would buy it off of you. Been wanting a naso.
    Yes they get VERY large, quite quick. Adult nasos with streamers are a beautiful fish though.

    saltwaterfish.com 75 minimum lol.. i like how they rate that. That is right.. I would put it in a 75 if it was 2.5 to 3" but things grow!!

    I think all I have to do is spend at least 40 dollars. I plan on getting a Tomini Tang anyway and they're 60 bucks, and I also want a Lawn mower blenny, and ill prolly get some xenias too, so I shouldn't have any trouble getting the limit
