| Has anyone had any experience with these? I want a blue fish that isn't common place, and I think these are 10 times sexier than a purple (yawn). Only place I can find them is online so I would like to hear from someone that has had one before I take the plunge! |

| They're also a lot cheaper then the purple tangs. I had 1 awhile back. When I got him, he was all yellow with powder blue outlines around the fines . It took him maybe 3or4 months before he started turning blue. He was the only tang I had at the time in a community tank with other smaller fish(40gal.). He ate zucchini, spirulina pellets and red sea weed.
Where is Garland located? I may be able to get you 1 for around $35-$45 here in Houston.

| Thanks! I'm more or less in Dallas, I'm still working on a couple of my connections here to see if I can get one. I found one online that would be about 45. |

| $45 for the fish is a great price. But shipping gonna kill you. Do you know what the shipping is, and what site is it? |

| Never bought fish on eBay. I hope you find something local so you don't have to deal with shipping. |
