I would like to get an algae eater and I’m debating between a Lawnmower / Starry Blenny (Starry better) and a Tomini / Kole Tang for a 4’ tank.
I’ve read many stories of the two fighting with each other so I’d like to choose one out of the two, but I’m a bit on the fence about which one to get.
The blennies have lots of personality but if I can only find a Lawnmower it would be a bit drab. The Tang’s more colorful and active but I’m a bit worried about aggression in a tank under 100 gallons.
In terms of hardiness and ease of accepting prepared foods (I will be offering nori strips), which one is the better bet?
Thanks.
Depending on my housing situation I will definitely upgrade if possible in the future, but if it’s not possible for a long time would a small Tang species like a Tomini or Yellow Eye Kole be able to live for the duration of its lifespan (it’s a Tang so I’m expecting at least 10 years) in a 4’ 70-80gal tank without compromising its health and happiness?
Are Cthenochaetus more difficult in terms of feeding and dealing with disease than Zebrasomas?
