FS: Gold Eye Kole Tang - Burnaby

[gregzz4]

'Ziggy' is for sale
I bought him from J&L Sept/12 and he went through a full quarantine ('till Dec 2nd) before being introduced to my DT. I do this with all my fish

He eats everything, is fat, and is very healthy
I would feel confident if you wanted to introduce him directly to your tank without a QT period as my tank is disease free as far as I know, and I QT everything, but this is your choice as I suggest you always QT your new critters :wink:

All I ask is you have a minimum 75g tank, but larger and longer is preferred, as this guy is very active and needs room to play and graze on brown/slime algae

He's 4-1/2" and I'm asking for $60
Not the best pic, but here He is

Damn if only you where here, ziggy is one sweet looking tang.

[The Guy]

Ziggy is very cool looking and I would take him in a heart beat, BUT I already have one. So why is Ziggy being sold Greg he's beautiful?

I really don't want to sell him, but he doesn't fit the mold
I'll gladly hold him for you if you'd like to visit our sunny coast :lol:

Yup, he's a beauty, but he's too rambunctious to fit into our future plans

We are looking to have some smaller and tamer fishies, and he is too, well, rambunctious :smile:
He's very active and will freak out the fish we want to add

[neoh]

I could house him, but he deserves better! Good luck with the sale, it's a beautiful fish!

Are you saying you don't want him ?

[neoh]

I do. But he should be in a bigger and older tank.

OKee dokee

Bump for a great fish for sale :smile:

[Tn23]

Would love him in my tank, but I need to get rid of my Purple Tang first to make space :(

[input80]

How rambunctious is he Gregg ? just wondering if it would go with my yellow & hippo combo or yellow & white cheek combo ?

No worries Greg, thx. :)

Kole tang can get along with any tangs. I have a purple (4.5"),sohal (8") & a 4.5" yellow tang in a180g 6' no problem at all. And kole is the most hard working guy out of all.

Except a new yellow tang..

[gregzz4]

Bump

[Coralgurl]

How are planning on catching him? I've got a tang to catch as well and mine is the most timid fish. Hides as soon as I'm near the tank, comes out when I leave except when feeding.

Now if I needed to catch a wrasse, no problem, mine swims right into my hand.....

An 8" net and my hand to poke him out of the only hole He can hide in
This is how I caught the Foxface :smile:

[gregzz4]

Nobody wants this beautiful fish, disease and mark free ?
He's absolutely pristine :mrgreen:

[Masterpiece_Corals]

[dino]

Sorry, I work in Vancouver
But I live 5 mins from J&L, so no different than going there for you

[neoh]

Why is this fish still for sale!

[gregzz4]

Why is this fish still for sale!
'Cause you're too scared to put him in your new tank :smile:
It's OK though
I'd like to see him go to a 6 footer
He'd use it all up with his bursts of speed

[Masterpiece_Corals]

No, my tank is 8 feet long!

[gregzz4]

No, my tank is 8 feet long!
I'd love to see Him go into your tank
How long has it been running ?

[dino]

I hate living in the chilliwack lol if available byb the weekend ill contact you

[Masterpiece_Corals]

Three months, well established system!

[gregzz4]

I've had lots of PMs about this dude and some were mistaken about my requests, so I hope this clears thing up a bit

I am not asking you to have a 6 foot tank for this Kole, it is only a wish

I DO ask you have a stable tank ie; one that is past any cycling and has enough LR filtration to support a new 4+ inch fish

Lastly, I will not drop my asking price of $60

This fish sells for $80 with tax at J&L and He comes with no diseases and is eating everything you would want to feed Him
He eats Mysis, Brine, Plankton, Krill, Nori, Super Soft Spirulina pellets, Algae wafers and even chopped shrimps
The only thing I've never tried to feed him is flakes

I'm not entertaining offers here, I'm looking for a good home for our loved fish
If you have the right home and are willing to pay my asking price, He's yours

The asking price stands @ $60

Lets find this active dude a great new home :mrgreen:

[SanguinesDream]

I should have jumped at him when I had the chance, 5ft tank, well established tank (couple years old), but I was concerned about the long drive up (16 hours) and the tank mates. But after researching compatibilities, there doesn't look like there would have been a conflict and the three other fish made it no worries. Bah.

Bump for a great fish from a great seller for a great price.

[gregzz4]

Thanks for the nice words

BUMP :biggrin:

[gregzz4]

Pending pickup Sat noon ...

[gregzz4]

SOLD

I had to put the left rock structure in a bucket and block off the corner with eggcrate
Poor Ziggy is all stressed out

Anyway, he's off to a good home
