| Re: my yellow tang... He's very small if he is really 7 years old. A yellow tang that age should be at least 6" long.

| Re: my yellow tang... Nice to see he is doing better. I want a Tang for my tank and was suprised that the Yellows were $50 at the LFS for a medium. I guess that Hawaiian law kicked up the price. Last time I priced them they were $20 for that size yellow. |

| Re: my yellow tang... Cool, I would be tempted to soak food in a vitamin supplement...freeze dried food soaks up vitamins well. Just a thought. Some people just should not have fish!

| Re: my yellow tang... I use Kent Zoe...but I think it might be a better to try Selcon, it has essential fatty acids. This fish needs all of the help it can get!
