you've got some beautiful fish there! How do the two of them get along? My LFS tried to convince me to buy a powder blue for my 58 gal which is very full of rocks. I think they need more space, though.

hi all
i have had the yellow and powder blue tang for 4mths. the two of these guys came out of the same tank which i bought off of someone on the forum. they get along really well and as you see in the picture swim and hang around together alot. my purple tang and powder blue like to play tough guy with each other from time to time but never any wounds,so all around i say they get along well. they were all introduced at the same time. ive had good luck with these guys as far as health.they really need swimming room and plenty of seaweed (green stuff) to eat. i feel with quality water conditions,proper diet,plemty of swimming room and the right tankmates powder blue tangs will do well.:) i would arrange rock work so they have swimming room. my pbt likes to swimm in the current flow all day.

That is sure a beautiful fish. I would love to have one but I bet a 72gal is to small. I have a very small yellow tang in there right now, and two cardinals. What do you think?

yes a 75 gallon tank will be two small for a yellow and powder blue tang .this hobby gets expensive. i guess just like any other,theres always something else to buy bigger or better.pbt are pretty active.
