Bristletooth tangs 4ft tank

[jake296]

Hi all,

Anybody here have success in housing multiple bristletooth tangs in a 4ft tank? Specifically small Tomini with introduction of either blue eyed or short tailed bristletooth.

No other tangs in the system.

TIA

I have a 120 gallons, 48 inches tank with 2 tangs (kole tang and yellow tang). It’s only been a few weeks but so far so good.

The yellow tang is definitely the boss because it is bigger. I introduced him last because of that. I wouldn’t have done the opposite.

That’s good to know! I also like the yellow and purple tangs etc but from all my research it seems they’ll outgrow the tank and I don’t want to stock it with anything that I’ll have to move on due to size. My display tank is 80 gallon, total volume 110

Yeah, 80 gallons is too small for a Yellow.

Multiple bristletooth tangs at that size is probably not a great idea. One will work. 2 are likely to scuffle. It is technically possible, but it's a pretty high risk stocking choice

Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking the same but I was just curious to hear
