- Looks can be deceiving and my Australian Harlequin Tusk deceived me in more ways that one. Here's my experience with the fish over thirteen months

The tusk was my dream fish when I first got into saltwater keeping i still want one but I don’t have the funds to get a big enough setup for one but one day I’ll get a massive setup and have any tusk
Great looking fish! Love the HT!
Mine like to hunt cromis when the lights went out. One swipe, cut in half. Great video Mark keep them coming.
Man, your tank is really filling in. Nice tusk as well
Mark pls do a full update on your awesome tank. I can’t wait to see it.
pro trick : you can watch series at instaflixxer. Been using them for watching loads of movies recently.
@Karsyn Mayson Yea, have been watching on instaflixxer for months myself :D

Happy to see your tank
Great video and an awesome, funny fish! 👍
You keep harlequin tusk and have many problem
Miss your videos brother good job
I second that show update of that beauty ...
Mine loves clams and mussels on the half shell as well as nls pellets
Your Pyramid Angelfish are beautiful.
You meant Pyramid Butterflies
Nice and nice vid
can you do video on your QT process? along with any treatment you give to the fish.
You got a nice one .... these can be monsters lol
Mark, do you use any preventative medication in quarantine?
it would have been interesting if you re-introduced the tang - I had a similar problem just recently. it ended up with the tang taking the bottom half of the tank and the tusk the top half. now they are fine with each other.
NEK Productions I’m glad it worked in your case and I’m not risking it! I got lucky catching the tang
Has been my favourite fish since I was a child and had no idea they could be kept lol
I will never forget the first tusk I had was in QT and the first time I ever fed it was a piece of prawn by hand I was expecting to just drop it in the tank and hope he would eat it.. BANG he smashed it right out of my hand before I even had time to react! Scared the shit out of me!!
you from middle tn? that's cool if so im north of nash about 30 mins im a planted tank guy for now though getting a few years of research before I run a salt so its a one and done type deal im very technical however in the chemistry, limnology, biology side of the hobby tough so its only natural
I decided on a orange spotted tusk due to the fact that they're harder to find in the hobby. They are very similar in behavior, not athletic at all. Ive had him for around 8mths.
Harlequin tuskfish do not occur in Indonesia in any significant quantity and Fishbase does not even list Indonesia in the native range for the species. (www.fishbase.us/summary/SpeciesSummary.php?ID=12722&AT=Harlequin+tuskfish) While some sellers will claim their fish are imported from Indo, those fish are almost certainly coming from the Philippines. While tuskfish from the Philippines historically have had a reputation for poor survival and lackluster appearance compared to their Australian counterparts, this almost certainly has to do with differences in handling processes for the fish in the two countries. The species is only found on the east side of the Philippines, 15 to 20 hours away from the exporters in Manila and in the past this has presented logistical challenges in a country with still very much developing infrastructure. However newly implemented changes in logistics of getting the fish to Manila coupled with training and oversight in collection and handling practices for the fishermen are already resulting in noticeable differences in the fish from certain exporters in the Philippines. Aquarists should no longer be so quick to write off specimens from the Philippines and going forward many will be quite impressed with the quality, even compare to Australian fish.
Just bought my Aussie tusk and 3 days later he’s killed my long nose hawkfish and my flasher wrasse🤦♂️🤷♂️
am getting for my 220 fish only tank with 3 tangs, snowflake eel , long nose rabbit fish, dogface puffer, pork pork puffer , marron clown think its ok thx you
Bro the fish was timid cuz you got the runt
The Indonesian Tusk is a Knock Off. 🤣
They sell them next to the fake Rolexes 😂😂
What about shrimp
Bob Ried shrimp = snack
So this thing is too big for a 180? Bummer.
280 gallons :( my 90 gallon not enough then
correct. These guys get quite large and usually aren't found for sale under 5"
In my 8' long 240 gallons tank, my tusk eats any new damsels who either play dead or aren't smart enough to hide in the rocks. He can't catch existing established damsels. ua-cam.com/video/ggW7OG2fQ0c/v-deo.html
Haha he’s like a fainting goat
Been 13 months without Mr.Saltwater tank...should have stayed that way
JewishCoupon wouldn’t be accurate. I released 3x videos last week!
@@mrsaltwatertank I stand corrected
That’s a big ugly fish. And boring reef tank.
