Default Blue Tang

Can anyone with experience with this fish help me with some type of guidlines and/or needs as far as keeping this fish? I'm thinking of getting one.

look for the blue tang on that website and it will tell you the basics. I would also google search the fish and read many websites. This is a very special fish so I am glad you are doing your research.

Your profile doesn't state the size of your tank but Tangs in general are more apt to have an Ick outbreak, even though some have success with them. Powder Blue (if that is what you are thinking of getting) is considered "difficult".

I personally love the Tangs but would make sure to run them thru a hyposalinty treatment before adding them to the DT. Heres a good little read about the tangs at the end of this thread...
