Many Tangs are expensive. I think it's because most just grow so blasted slow.
 
Do you have anyone in your local club who breeds them?

If you have a dedicated tank, cyps and paracyps will multiply like rabbits and don't eat their young.

There is no club here... I've looked for months...
 
Texas Cichlid Association
Hill Country Cichlid Club
Greater Houston Aquarium Club
Houston Aquarium Society

Here are a few in Texas, since I am not sure where you are in Texas.

Paracyps would work. Cyps are not cheap. Also remember the F1 and wilds are always more.
 
I live in Lubbock. The closest one I know of is the one you listed fr San Antonio. or the DFW one. We're just not big enough to warrant one... I dont think... If I knew how I would make one myself but since there's not one already I"m guessing it's because not enough people are interested. I guess I could make some flyers and put them up in my LFS if they'd let me and see if anyone is interested...
