Yellow Tang???

[chilidog]

Can a yellow tang go into a 90 gal reef?

What other fish do u have in the tank?

 

[chilidog]

I dont even have water yet lol.But im planning ahead before i set up.Just woder ing if i can put one in once its established.I plan on keeping 2 clows,Six line,Flam angel,Blackcap basslet,Copperband,and a firefish.

 

[lionfish12]

Take out the basslet and copperband and you can get a yellow tang... Little too many fish. Other people might say to take out the fire fish aslo.

I like to have less fish and not the maxuim amount. Just to be on the safe side get ride of the basslet or firefish. If you dont want to then keep them, just my advise.

Should be fine IMO.
Copperbands are not the easiest fish to keep. Ya might want to wait for your next tank for that

I think those fish are great just not the butterfly. I have done reading on them and read that they dont do well in captivity. Even in public aquariums. Id go with a nice angel such as a coral beauty, (my favorite fish) or flame angel, rusty angel, or lemonpeel angel. All these fish are very attractive and should do good with your selection of fish.

I agree, I had a YT with a Copperband once and the YT picked on the copperband constantly.
Also, I would wait a good three months before adding a tang...

ok, someone riddle me this, how is someone who has been unable to keep any fish alive, i specualte has never kept a gold fish alive, but anyway, how is lionfish12 going to give fish stocking advise? from what i have seen, if he says don't do it, you will be fine, and your fish will thrive... ignore lionfish12

I am retired. Out of K.C. tow platoon. Desert Storm veteran, well retired because of that. Glad to see another Marine on here!! Semper Fi!!

I think you would be fine as well, the bio load would be fine. The only suggestion I would have is maybe to take out the copperband and also I would wait till your tank is kinda mature for a flame Angel.

 

[aaron1983]

Yes I forgot to tell him about the angel needing a more mature tank. Thank for pointing that out for me cadbury!

GOT YOUR BACK...........

You should also have pretty much rockwork for your angel. They seem to like it alot. Other species to think about would be a hawkfish, blenny, or cardinalfish.
