Good luck, they are really hard to find and pricey at that size. I had one that was about 2.5"

 

[JOSE CASAS]

I saw black tangs that small at wholesale, $350 each. Pretty solid if you ask me. Good luck getting into whole sale lol.

no wholesaler will let someone walk in and buy a small black tang for $350 and walk out. Usually you have to buy a lot of bread and butter fish along with the black tang

The minimum purchased was only $150, meet that your golden. And describe "someone" because you can't be a "nobody" and get into whole sale. You can even try to check out with out the correct documents. They had roughly 4-5 some were a bit larger then 2". No bigger then 4". All were on sale for $350.

Did you buy one? Wholesalers get items like that as incentives. They don't let them go to stores that want to come in, cherry pick a single fish and bail. Granted $350 is a bit high but meh. Im not trying to get into a pissing match with you over it lol. Ive worked in wholesale.

They also had Chevron tangs the same size on sale for $45. Lol I definitely swooped that up.

Idk why you'd question that then. Like you said $350 is a high price anyways. I've seen fish there at normal LFS prices $50-120. Sell for less then $5 at wholesale, it's a rather sick inflation, but what most people don't know won't kill them.

I think you are missing my point. No worries. Awesome come up on the tang mang

 

[Scout]

But to answer your question no I did not buy the black tang. But given my experience in the saltwater industry I think it's funny when I tell people about whole sale prices, they tend to knock me like i don't know anything. No pissing contest here, but I know what I know and that's what I'm going to stick to.

That's the going rate at wholesale lol, I would never dish out huge amounts of money for fish after being spoiled with wholesale prices
