[Tonyscoots84]

they are beautiful fish. wow. congrats NYCfatcow.. man that is one nice fish. they look like medium sized to large. if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for all of them.

BeWaRe If CaLiReef sees this your going to be introuble hehehe. dont mind him. he gave me some sarcastic remark cause i have 2 baby tangs in a 29 gallon. there like an inch maybe an inch and half each wateva. which are going to be moving into my 75 gallon in like 2-3 months. you no wat enjoy the fish. just make sure they dont get stressed. wouldnt want to see anyone of those beauties passing on. enjoy and goodluck

 

[Tonyscoots84]

ohh wait u got them guys with a violitian lion and snowflake eel. i didnt see that when i was reading the post before. i smell some trouble lolz.
good luck.. .

Eels and Lion fish don't Mix in general as the eel will chase them but Snowflakes are pretty peacefull unless it's very big and even then probably not a problem here.

It's not the size of the tank but the mix of the fish you have there. With that many tang in such a small tank they're going to start fighting and your going to lose a couple of them.

Also it's advisable to quartine your fish before being place into the main tank. So if one of them has something that may help reduce your problem of two many fish in your tank.

If you see the bare bottom in the pic, that is the quarantine tank. I've seen his setup, he quarantines everything.

I'm almost too speechless to yell.

that's plain wrong, and you know it.

you need to get a 180-240 for the type and amount of fish you want to keep.

 

[nycfatcow]

hehes... i see the unsatification hale.....yeh they are all in the QT right now....im gonna introduce them very slowly...imma let them chil in my Qt tank for like 1-2 weeks...then introduce one or 2 fish everyweek...dont worry if i see anysigns of unhappyness...imma put them back in my Qt and sell them.....ohh and yeh i bought the coles tang for like 38 bucks...i thought it was a good buy.....made the owner feed him b4 i bought it...eats a lot!

 

[Deanos]

Too bad stress in fish isn't measurable. Maybe Salifert can come out with a test kit. :scratchch

 

[nycfatcow]

well if i see anysigns of stress....out they go

Whats this about beware of calireef. Thats not a very fair comment. The fact of the matter is that he is one of the most knowledgeable peoiple on this site. If more people listened to what he had to say they would have nicer tanks and healthier for that matter. The ony reason why he is being sarcastic is that he just gave up on most of you and he is pissed.

The point I am trying to make is that yeah those are nice fish and everyone is congratulating you for whatever reason. But they are doomed. They will die in your tank. There is no way around that. Its like putting you in a shed and not letting you out ever not even to piss. Chances are that your equipment can not even keep up with the waste output and then one day you will come crying about some algae outbreak and ich etc etc.

To put baby tangs in a tank is fine just please make sure that they dont stay in there as they grow. We are responsible for their lives guys. These fish ale living beings. Please treat them that way

Agree with everything Herman said from Pierce(Calireef) to the chances of survival of these poor fish.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

i agree i was wrong for saying what i did but the way he talks to people aint right eitha. i understand he is pissed and if he gave up on us then dont leave a sarcastic remark. help the people who dont think. dont be a RC.com person. one thing i did not see he had
2 BLUE HIPPOS (alot)
3 YELLOW TANGS (Damn)
1 coles tang. all i can say wow. when i looked at it previously i thought there were only 1 each which he could prob. get by but now i see the fishload. and its alot.

Aggressive mixed with peaceful i smell problems.

fish are def. doomed. i think u should start selling them ASAP. i wouldnt want to see them die.

dont know Calireefer personally,
but from some of the things hes said in posts , it sounds like hes a very experianced guy in this field, and im sure we can all learn alot from.


one question i hae for NYCfatcow is if you know what your doing is wrong, why r you doing it. you have 10 fish in a 75 gallon tank, thats kinda nuts. and they are not exactlly to small, by the size of the pic.
thats ONE LARGE FISH PER EVERY 7.G GALLONS.
now you wouldnt put any of those in a 7.5 gallon tank, now would you? so why you doing this/?
