camelcruiser March 3, 2013 Share March 3, 2013 I was at roozens today they have a huge black tang largest one I have ever seen by far at least 6x6 probably larger for 450 also the cheapest I've ever seen, very healthy looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind March 4, 2013 Share March 4, 2013 That is a pretty sweet price. You didn't grab it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camelcruiser March 4, 2013 Share March 4, 2013 Nope I'm pretty much out of room for tangs now, I have enough jockeying for position between my yellow and purple and my sohal and hippos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohaverd March 4, 2013 Author Share March 4, 2013 what exactly makes the Black Tang so pricey? Is it just rarity? Maybe its just me, but they are kinda boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huly March 4, 2013 Share March 4, 2013 what exactly makes the Black Tang so pricey? Is it just rarity? Maybe its just me, but they are kinda boring. We were just talking to BRK this past weekend and supposedly these are rarely ever imported into the US. They have one in their display tank.

ridetheducati March 4, 2013 Share March 4, 2013 Supply and demand, remember when the purple tang was $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad March 5, 2013 Share March 5, 2013 Exactly as stated above, supply and demand. There's a low supply for a lot of reasons (rarity, difficulty in collection, remote collection areas, etc.) and since there's a low supply, the cost is high. I do remember $50 purple tangs (and $200 black tangs for that matter). Want to really have a heart attack, start looking at things like candy bassletts, conspicuous angels, wrought iron butterfly fish, a whole array of dwarf angels, and a ton of other cool things.

The Conspic is my absolute favorite, that is why I have several in my tank, I mean dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packman@90 March 5, 2013 Share March 5, 2013 I was just there over the weekend and got a GBTA, it is doing great and my set of clowns have now found it and seem to have hosted it. Roozen's is what it is but I have so far gotten a mandarin and the GBTA from them and have nothing to complain about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjamaya March 5, 2013 Share March 5, 2013 (edited) I went today for the first time, its spooky thought someone welding a chainsaw was gonna pop out but they had a nice selection, I snapped a few pics, they actually had a flame hawk I may get seemed a lil washed out but might give it a try Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 The guys at Centerville aquarium always have flame hawk fish on hand. I also bought a male and female mandarin dragonets for 20 bucks each. Edited March 5, 2013 by kjamaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridetheducati March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 Roozen had two Goldflake Angels, a local hobbyist purchased both. Unfortunately, the hobbyist killed the first one and is hoping the the second makes it through QT. In case your wondering, he used Cupramine without testing. If only he had listened to my warnings. "For the Goldflake, do not follow the instructions on the bottle, increase the Cupramine levels over a 5 - 7 day period and test along the way."
