harlequin tusk

[24hourbarn]

im going to set up another tank at my office and i really love the way harlequin tusks look. what are some tank mates that would get along with this guy. the tank is a 55 gallon. also any advise on keeping them would also be apreciated

Pretty easy to keep, and easy to feed. Be careful it WILL outgrow the 55, they get BIG.

 

[cincyreefer]

Yeah, they are too big to put in a 55 gallon.

I have a Niger, Clown, Trigger, S&S Puffer, Naso Blonde Tang with my Tusk. They all do great together.

 

[tony detroit]

what tank do you have those in?

 

[saltfisher]

A 125 at my girlfriends house.

Would a tusk bother a bamboo shark?

 

[grouperhead]

There's a chance it would pick at a shark. I don't think a 55g is all that small for a Tusk. A 75 would be better for the depth though.

My Tusk doesn't bother anything. Hell, it's scared of itself. They take quite a while to adapt.
