    Growth Rates on the Smaller Tangs (Calling all tang owners!)

    Hi! I have always wondered about the growth rates observed in the following tangs: There isn't really a consensus and really it seems it differs and I am calling out all our tang people and see the similarities between owners and their stock! Tomini tang - C.tominiensis White tail -...

    2 Tangs kissing

    So weird title, I know. But the title is really all I can describe it as. My 2 tangs- Powder Blue Tang and Blonde Naso Tang- were caught red handed giving each other the kissy-kiss action. All jokes aside, I would like to know what kind of tang behavior this is and what it means? I've never had...

    Sailfish tang nipped fins and heavy breathing.

    I just got this tang a few days ago and can’t seem to get him to eat. I’m pretty sure my coral banded shrimp was picking on him as I seen it chasing him, and noticed he had nipped fins. I got rid of the shrimp ( I’ve been wanting to recently anyway). Is there any hope to save him? I’ve read an...

    When/How to add tangs

    Recently I set up an 180 gallon with a 75 gallon modified tank for a sump. It’s cycled (1month) and currently home to 2 clowns, 2 bangkia cardinals, and a six line wrasse. The rocks are still clean and have not gone through the ugly phase. When should I add tangs? I want to add them all at the...

    Experience Clown Tang keepers chime in

    Experienced Clown tang keepers only please! I have always thought the Clown Tang is the most beautiful fish. I have heard so many 2nd and 3rd hand stories of peoples experiences with them not going well. Very little advice from people first hand. For that reason I did not stock my tank with one...

    Coloring of Tomini and Kole Tangs

    Curiosity question here. Do the tomini and kole tangs darken in color with age or is it just random special variation? I’ve seen tominis with a pale grayish colored body and then ones almost black. A similar thing seems happens with the koles with that light orange color in the body to a deep...

    Tang Gang

    I'm looking to add a tang gang into my 6 foot reef. I'm thinking of adding 4 small tangs or maybe 3 small ones and a rabbitfish. I am pretty set on a two spot bristletooth and a yellow belly hippo but am not decided on the other one or two. What would you guys recommend?

    Mimic Tang care. What is the actual minimum sized tank?

    Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with these tangs (Mimic/Chocolate tang). I've gotten multiple different answers on whether I can keep one in my 90g reef. Some say a minimum size of 125g, others 90 and there were even a few 75g. I already feed nori strips to my one spot...
