Rule of Tang (thumb) :)

[bill109]

ok i am upgrading to a 75
so can i mix 2 typs of tangs?
yellow and Kole?
what are you oppions on these fish?
they would be with other fish as well
im sorry if people are getting tired of me asking about tang but i really like them an maybe would like the size of tang for these 2 if a 75 gal wont work with plenty of lr

remember with tangs you have two things agenst you
1 they get huge!
2 they need about 6 feet of swimming room
as far as those two go I dont know enough to help sorry

Go for an odd number, it helps with agression.

convict and aus. sailfin is all I have ever seen . I know there are more

A 75 gal is not 6ft. so kinda small for tangs. I would keep the YT since you already have it, but don't add any more. You will be looking for a new home eventually for the YT as it is.

from a 75??
the tank is roughl 5.5 feet i heard tht a kole dosent need as much room i think its bogus but who knows.
i thought tht if i were to put both of them into the tank at the same time.... 2 tangs would be alright?!
ihmm what are your thoughs.. are there any tangs that dotn get AS big as say a sailfin..
btw i saw the BIGGEST sailfin in the lfs today wow what a beauty.

. he must of been the size of a medium dinner plate :cheer: . they have a sailfin and a hippo and not an odd number?
i would love to have a kole and a ty but if i am going to riddiucled by everyone because they know that they will get ick tell me cus i dont like ick... but is there anything to do
my lfs doesnt have anything over 75 the only ones they have are extremely expensive.. like 1100
but i want a kole and my yt and hate to bring fish back cus it says wow i made a mistake.

you could get a used aquarium for a lot cheaper. a kole could possibly fit in a 75g. check out the zebrasoma genus they will be the smallest tangs in general.

yeah i could but the thing would be WITH a Yellow Tang in the same tank,introduced at the same time)
oh yeah i dont know if i said this b ut the uprade tank would be a regular 75 with stand for 300... i saw a 75 rr in Ny best deal EVER and my mom wont take the drive

she dont get tht it will save 5-600 dollars

RR for lets say under 500

 

[stdreb27]

man just hit up forums. I found a 75 total setup with ALOT of LR for under 500. Just took some shopping going to pick it up tomorrow. I'm so excited!

:jumping: :cheer:

:jumping:

 

[jrthomas40]

i plan on getting a sailfin tomorrow to go in my new 90g and it will be going in with a blue regal....i am hoping not to run into a lot of problems

Ok, not the tang police here,i had a YT in a 4ft, 75 with no other tangs, and he was fine for a yr, but he looked cramped after he grew some. 2 tangs need at least 125 gal tank! I wouldn't push it, ich is nasty, and to try 2 is asking for trouble.

now AGAIn it comes down wat fish can go in
YT
pink blu watchman
clown
chromis
what els i like butterfly but they are picky eater , my last angel died and i cant have anohter tang.. i dont like blennied or anthias so much or firefish...
reminder 75 gal.

 

[puffer32]

I know you are thinking blennies aren't the best looking fish, but you are a tank watcher, and watching blennies is very entertaining. If you really don;t want a blenny, then go with maybe some nice looking fairy wrasse, I am partial; to being entertained, rather then what just looks nice, I have 2 nice looking wrasses, but watch my blennies much more.or you can go with both, you have the room if you aren't going with another tang (wise move not to, very mature decision btw) My jawfish is a fun fish also.

added to fish list and added some text above on this post

I would forget the butterfly, I had a 6 line, he ate my pods, and chased my shrimp leaving less pods for my scooter and mandrin prefer the fairy wrasses myself. But its your tank. I have a flame angel, he doesn't touch my corals.
