Again I have bought a fish w/o doin any research. I special ordered a "purple clown tang". I cant find any info on this fish. I just got in and it doesnt look like a common clown tang so I dont think they are related (which is good considering what I know about em now.) I dont think its anything exotic... It was only $9. I looked at alot of pictures online and the only thing that resembles it was a Atlantic Blue tang... kinda.

...I should just put up some pics. :88)

Pics of it would help

The mystery tang! (the impossible fish to get in focus!)

If I find 4 double A's I'll take some better pics. These are what was left of my battery that were in focus.

since im posting...

How soon is ich supposed to clear up? My kole tang thats been in my hospital tank for about a week has ich pretty bad. Ive been using coppersafe but Im not seeing any results

Arent neon gobys supposed to eat ich spots? Itd be nice if mine did!

You might have some problems with adding that tang to the tank with the Kole tang......they are both from Ctenochaetus sp. and will probably be fairly aggressive towards each other.

Without seing the face of the tang, my ID is going to be A bristletooth tang, AKA lavendar tang, brown bristletooth.

Its a toss up between a Kole and the bristletooth though.....Im just figuring that since you already have a Koles that you have compared them and they are different.

What size tank? The Bristletooth gets 10in adult size and the Kole isnt far behind it with an adult size of 8in.
