It has happened too alot of people, do not feel to bad. You could pick a price for the tang
maybe less than what you paid, maybe sell him on his own. Or you could take him to another L.F.S., or you could give him away to someone with a way bigger tank. You could
still try and sell the rest as is, it is up to you. Good-luck, hope this helps!
Happy Geckoing,
Leah

Sorry, I believe you are a good person, it just drives me crazy when store owners do not properly inform people (who are just starting out in the hobby and don't know any differently) about the needs and requirements of the fish/corals etc. that they are selling to them. I'm glad you understand and I hope you explain about the tang to whoever buys your set up, if they do not already know. If you want to sell the tang on it's own I've seen yellow tangs sell for around $20-$40.

+1 Fishoholic,
When I was first starting out I went to a LFS to buy my first clean up crew, well the guy sold me 15 red legged hermits and this MASSIVE EVIL destroyer crab (to which he informed me was a "sifter crab", by the time I got home the evil crab had devoured all of the red legged hermits. Moral of the story, some LFS give bad advice, some give amazing advise but the most important thing to do is the research before you purchase anything. Perhaps you should treat the little guy and send him to michika (Catherine's) tank, yellow tangs need allot of swimming room. If you care about animals as much as it sounds like you do then a 6 foot plus tank is the ideal location for this guy!

I would offer to take him, but already have a yellow.

calgaryluv;
I would take the yellow tang back to the LFS where you purchased it and demand your $ back. Unfortunately that store will continue its questionable practices unless checked.

Thats why it is always best to fill your library 1st then fill your tank 2nd

Hope you find good homes

I heard my name!

If you decide not to take your tang back to the LFS, PM me the details, size, etc. and I'll see if I can't find it a good home in my system.
