    Shrimp Compatibility with Certain Fish

    I have a longnose butterfly with a cleaner shrimp and a peppermint shrimp and it does fine. I think the Longnose is one of only a few butterflys that will not mess with the shrimp. I think you will do alright combining the two.

    Just the begining

    I think if you have the money to maintain a 210 gal tank, go for it. Just start off slow and be patient. The only think I see that would be a pain will be the water changes, only because your dealing with alot of water. Good Luck

    tangs

    The Kole and the sailfin tang should get along but I think by you having just the 90 gallons that the sailfin will need a bigger tank. With most sailfin you should have at least a 135 gal. they can grow to about 14-15"
