[batman1820]

Which is easier to keep: Purple or Yellow Tang? About the Same?

 

[fedukeford]

ive heard purple are REALLY delicate, and are the MOST aggressive tang

 

[puffer24/7]

the most aggressive tang i am afraid u are wrong

 

[fedukeford]

really?? what is the most aggressive

 

[puffer24/7]

the most aggressive would have to be the sohal tang or the clown tang they are a close tie

 

[fedukeford]

o, my LFS said that the purple was

 

[rgmason]

my vote for the most agressive tang would be the sohal constantly wanting to pick on others always but doesnt pic on my clown tang

 

[puffer24/7]

rg backs me up who else wants to back me up on that the sohal and the clown tang are the meanest tangs

 

[dogstar]

I have both Y and P and they are both equally easy to keep.

A Yellow Tang doesn't get quite as big or need quite as much room.

 

[angelsrock]

both are about the same care level, they are both aggressive though and can bully fish around.

I have a clown tang with a purple tang with a sohal tang lol. They don't fight at all. They're in a 375 gallon though. You guys will think i'm lying when i say that the meanest tang i've ever had was a kole tang. It kept ppicking on everyone.

Isn't the purple tang more predisposed to HLLE than a yellow?

Out of my 5 different Tangs, the Kole was the only one that ever bothered any thing esle in the tank. Constantly chased the LMB.
As far as the Y and P goes, the Purple generaly cost more than the Yellow, $$ So you could say the Yellow is easier on the wallet.
If the tank is big enough then why not get both.
