tang Identification

Hi all,

well i have found myself catching some fish for my aquarium after all my other fish died (caught humanily without chemicals or additives).

And i found myself a tang, not sure what he is any ideas?

if the pics are no good can you give me some advice on setting up a finepix s5600 to capture a good pic of him?

Re: tang Identification

Maybe:
Dussimer Tang - Acanthurus dussumieri
It's hard to tell from your pics

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach him how to fish and you get rid of him all weekend.

I'm afraid all three images are not very good for identification purposes. It would help if you perhaps included description of the color of the fish's body, fins( all of them ) and if it has any other discriptive characteristics(lines, dots, etc.)

Does your camera have shutter priority mode or ways to adjust ISO? You can try bumping up your ISO to speed up shutter and maybe use flash as well. When using flash, tilt is slightly forvard to eliminate reflections from the glass.

Re: tang Identification

I think this is a Dusky Surgeon (Acanthurus Nigrofuscus) gets to about 8 inches.

Re: tang Identification

I second Dragonmoray. It is a Dusky Surgeon.
