    Question About My Tank

    Tang in agressive tank?

    Yes it is posible, what kind of puffer and eel do you have? this will play a role in the type of tang you can have. Also it is not recommended to mix tangs unless you have a fairly large tank(125 +gal ) although I have seen it done. I have a 125 gal tank with a 20in snowflake moray a sharpnose...
