Thanks for confirming their reputation. I can't wait for captive bred.

My tangs are fed garlic and it’s helps there immune system massively and luckily I have not had any issues with diseases

I can never get enough of your tank. Just amazing 😉

Love this video. So inspiring.

Great episode and great shots.

Love the PB’s as well...Gorgeous fish

great video. tank looks great as always

Nice video with some good advice. The reef is looking lovely :)

I love powder blues there one of my favourites

Definitely a dominating fish had a large one I also nursed through ick I firmly believe they will get it at some point but if healthy will survive. Beautiful majestic fish!

I sensed the cause for the aggression of your powder blue over the sailfin after watching your feeding😂

Thanks for all the great tips. A powder blue or brown will hopefully make it in new build

...yes this one of your better videos....with good theory talk...

great video mate, cant wait to get a powder blue myself .. i feel like if you take the appropriate steps and give the fish the time/love it deserves in the early stages .. QT/Hyposalinity & get it eating well/happy before addition to the reef your really setting yourself up for success with a pb tang .. good work scott .. how long have you had your pb ? obviously theres alot of other things that are very important also like tank size/environment/diet etc

gorgeous tang

mIne was great....quarrantined for about a month. Used copper. Introduced into display tank and did fine for 2 yrs until I moved and sold it. and tank. Treat them and get them introduced properly and minimize stress and these will do well. Should be last fish added though...

Looking good bro. The color on your powder blue is intense. 👍

Hey Scott, thanks for the great post about your powder blue. I'm looking at stocking my tank with a few tangs and was curious, do Acanthurus tangs all display the same traits or qualities as the powder blue's do? Or are there others which are more suited to a home aquarium? So would the convict or powder brown be possibly "easier"? Thanks again for the great videos, keep 'em coming!

Patrick Hanlon i haven't owned all of them but by reputation they're all pretty aggressive. I haven't owned one but i hear Orange shoulder tangs are less aggressive.

Also what is quarantining your animal and how long do you do it

How do you cure odinium in tank? How many time in quarantine? The leuco is a sensible fish and suffer the stress, do you agree? My favorite fish, i love the life style 🙂he's a pit bull fish

Do u have to quarantine all tangs?? If so, do you need an extra tank just for that??

Have you ever kept lemon peel mimic tangs as I have fallen in love with this fish I am also looking in to getting the glorious wrasse and mimic file fish do you think they will be ok together

are they the same as keeping power brown tangs? Sensitivity wise?

Doesn’t the rock and sand absorb the copper in qt ?

I have a 220 fish only tank i have a V tang, blue eye kole tang, sailfin tang & a powder brown im QT mow can add a powder blue also thx you

Hey I got a naso tang and powder blue tang, introduced them together. The naso is slowly getting used to the tank eating swimming fine. The powder blue tang just swims in circles slowly not erratically. I have a big tank so the size is not the issue and it doesn’t eat? Any tips?

I'm pretty sure all fish have ich and when they stress that's when ich shows it self. I could be wrong. My regal came out in a few spots. I added another heater to my sump added a UV and did a water change and believe it or not couple days later not a spot on the regal. Personally I Think chasing a fish to catch him and put him in a separate tank stresses the fish more. Just my pennies worth

I have a fish that always have ich, even I treat him with copper. I think i have ich in my display tank. Because every time he goes back to the display he will get ich. All other fish are fine. What can I do.

Awkward Fish The only way to get the ich out of the tank is to remove all the fish from the tank, Treat them with copper medication and leave the tank fallow for 4-6 weeks. I've done a few videos on this. I think you if you watch them it will get you where you need to be.

Awkward Fish I'm in the same boat with my fish. There's a small amount of ich in it. Once in a while a fish will show a couple of spots. It doesn't seem to hurt anything but i can't get the fish out to treat it. I live with ich and its been fine for years. I don't do anything to manage it. You can always try a tang and see how it goes.

You mentioned powder blue tang only about a thousand times.

Some of your fish are breather hard, id suggest putting a pump.

Il give PB a wide birth i think, got 4 tangs now jus introduced clown tang. Red stripe Mimic tang my bully he's an arse

I had a powder blue for 1 year. I got it from a friend who was getting out of the hobby so don't judge please. He was in a 80 gallon deep blue rimless. He was an absolute bully. He killed 4 blue chromis, 3 anthias, and my fire dart fish. Needless to say I had enough of him and gave him back to the fish store. I wouldn't recommend this fish in any tank smaller than 125 6ft tank. I would make sure this is the last fish you put in because any fish you put in after it, will probably be beat up by the powder blue.
