Vlamingi Tang

[oldpaddy]

Who's got 'em? Let's see some pics and talk shop. How big, personality, etc.
They seem like a very personable fish. I saw a video of one who appeared to like to be pet.
I added a fat one the other day. It eats like a hog! It's approximately 6-8"

I've got a 220. I got a good deal on it. It was sitting in a Petco 20gal. It was very fat and ate like a champ. The girl said it had been there over a month. $100 for 6-8". I've needed a big fish so this works out perfectly. It chases me around the tank already.

Beautiful tank..

Beautiful tank..

Thanks. It could use a good cleaning, but all the parameters are good and I'm just not up for it.

Vlamingi will rapidly outgrow a 220, so be prepared.

When that happens I'll bring it back to Petco and they can stick it back in the 20 gallon tank it has been sitting in for the last month plus.

That's a good looking fish you got there. That's amazing how fast it grew for you.

That's a beautiful fish. That member was just trying to give helpful advice to help you prepare for future needs. Tank looks great.

Thank you I had one before hence my Avatar and it didn't grow as fast as this one, they must have added steroids in the food I'm feeding my fish
