    Still I'm sorry about your tang. I have 3 of them and would be devastated if one of them passed. They were all 3 rescues of sorts. My purple had a massive case of hole in the head and he was given to me by the lfs where I work. (dude was trying to treat him with copper and gave up on him) he's perfect now other than his scars.
    Leutenant tang that noone would buy from the store where I work.
    Yellow tang that was near starvation in a ladies tank and she agreed to give him to me.

    yeah, I was definitely upset about the fish. I was in the other room and my girlfriend and good friend(who's dad has a 210g reef) saw him laying on the sand and they both tried to keep me from looking at my tank, it was actually kind of funny how they both knew I would be upset and tried to divert me(good friends).. I just hope that when I get my 75 set up and running for a few months that I can get another tang of sorts. I think they are really cool fish.

    Sorry to hear, Bama. I was pretty upset when I lost my powder blue last year when my tank crashed. They're beautiful, and expensive fish too! :(

    Bama, I'm sorry about the powder brown. :( I remember your rescue mission. I lost a big silver dollar tetra yesterday in my FW tank - I've had that fish for YEARS, probably 7 or 8. He was fine the day before - I guess it was "old age." I made Jwin get him out - I couldn't do it. :(
