regal tang

[transman]

i have 120 fowlr with a dogface puffer,lion,niger trigger,and panther grouper,my question is will a regal tang survive without stressing it to death with my aggressive fish

As long as he was as big or bigger there probably would be no problem. IMO They need very good water conditions. I would think with the current fish you would have a hard time with a regal. If you need a tang in there consider a yellow or purple, they are a hardier species and can take the conditions. Please don't take me wrong, I am not saying that your water would kill most fish. Regals are expensive and delicate tang, the fish you have now are messy eaters and the water conditions can not be kept perfect. I know , My aggressive tank water is always a little off, and never perfect by any means but they are hardier fish that can take it.

Good point SNF, I would say not either. Regals are somewhat non-hardy even in good healthy tanks. You may want to try a Scopa's tang. I have one and he is pretty pissy. He holds his ground pretty good. If you've never seen one they are very colorful with a black to goldish black fade, with the same body shape as the yellow tang.

No it will die from stress.
