Hey everyone just joined this forum, I am new at the hobby and I finally decided to get on a forum.
Anyway I have a 65g tank with a blond naso tang, clarki clown, pinkface wrasse and a yellow tang. I also have a baby hippo tang in another tank by himself. Also i have a variety of inverts and a carpet anemone for the clarki clown. Ill put some pictures up as soon as i can.
Hi, Welcome to the site!
Sorry to have to tell you this. Aside from the wrasse and clown fish, the critters you have do not belong in a 65g tank.
The two yellow tangs need a 6 foot tank (they won't be little for long believe me, and swapping them out is not as easy as it sounds. You will stress them and all other tank inhabitants, chasing them down to catch them. When cramped they get really, really territorial, and will fight and harass everything in the tank, and take the territory for themselves.
The Hippo tang needs no less then a 100g tank. They have a habit of going flat and hiding under rock when you try and catch them...you will catch it under the last rock you remove.
The Naso tang needs a 135g tank and reaches 18 inches as an adult.
A carpet anemone needs
super strong lighting to survive, and they get HUGE, any SW critter that gets too close will be lunch, and what it can't eat, it will sting to death. If it hosts a clown, the clown will get territorial, and fight any critter that gets too close.
Return or give away, sell whatever you can do to get those fish out. Then get this book so you can see what will be appropriate for a 65g tank.
Here is a page so you can see the kind of info it offers...very helpful to know the adult size fish, and their tank needs.
