Naso Tang

[mitch24]

I currently have a huma trigger, yellow tang, and a domino damsel in my FO, 75 tank.
These guys get along incredibly well, and I would hate to upset the balance by putting in fish that didn't belong
How would a Naso Tang and/or a regel Tang go along with them?
I must have the most under-populated marine tank in history

Thanks in advance!!!

Better to be underpopulated than over. We added a Naso to our 180 FOLR with a Picasso (humu-humu), niger, & purple tang. The purple tang was a pain in the ass for a couple of days, but they're best of buddies now! Your yellow tang will be the same way. Just be sure to get a medium size naso. They get pretty big & normally wouldn't recommend for less than a 110 gal, but use your judgement.
Good luck!

I find that if you move the rock and dead corals into one side of the tank when introducing a new tank mate, this disorients the existing fishes that it gives the new fish an easier acclimation period. This has worked a few times for me now.

I have also found that rearanging the tank helps when adding a new fish. STEVE

Thanks for the advice! How long should I leave the tank re-arranged?
I would hate to leave everything off to the side for too long

Try splitting it to either side of center for a couple weeks.Then you have a good reason to buy more rock to fill in the hole. Thats how I ended up doing it.Made a cool arch inbetween the two piles. STEVE

That's a great idea. My tank can use some re-design work anyway Thanks!
