this is indeed a very expensive fish.. i have seen it eat lettuce.. u might want to consider that if u are planning to keep it.. and btw, it is extremely territorial... no similar shape tangs is recommended to be inside...

Let us work together to preserve the world for our children to inherit by being responsible to our surroundings. Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, bubbles and memories.

Sohal is more ich resistant than the other tanks as long you get a medium size 4-5 inch smaller ones not soo. The best way to get rid of ich is to use a cleaner wrasse but you can only put in one in a tank, Make sure you acclimate the wrasse thoroughly before you add to the main tank or it will die. cleaners are very sensitive to water parameters. Likewise when you buy one make sure it is alone in the plastic bag and don't let it stay too long in the bag or it will end up dead.

I think putting cleaner shrimps might be cheaper and more humane than buying cleaner fish....

Both serve the same purpose but the cleaner shrimp will be with you for many many months as compared to the life of the sensitive cleaner fish which can be measured in weeks or days in our marine tanks.

We should stop the demand for cleaner fish as they are clearly unsuitable for captive life.

Spread the word.
