Hey everyone,
As the title says I am looking for some insight for adding multiple tangs in my 75 g reef tank. So my reef tank is going on 4 years and is well established. The current live stock is as follows:
2 Storm Clown fish
1 Flame Hawk
1 six line wrasse (Super jerk)
1 Melanarus Wrasse
1 Scopas Tang
Now I also had a Tomini Tang for almost 3 years (got along great with the Scopas tang) and I recently needed to rehome him as he began to pick on my Jellybean Chalice and Warpaint Bowerbanki. He starting picking on them due to my target feeding Reef Roids and the fish love some Roids! I even tried feeding to tank mysis for a distraction but they were too smart and once the mysis were gone they went right after the roids.
I recently picked up a small Tomini Tang (about 1 1/2 inches long) and he has been in qt for 3 weeks now. Heres the dilemma, I just purchased a White-tail Bristletooth Tang for $100 (I have always wanted one but didnt want to dish out $250 for one) and is about 3-4 inches long. I am planing on picking him up this coming weekend.
Here are a few questions:
Anyone know if the 2 bristletooth tang can coincide together in a 75g reef tank?
Would it be best to keep the Tomini in QT and introduce the White-tail to the QT and reset the QT time line? (QT tank is a 20 gallon Long)?
I do have an acclimation box I will be using so I could just take the Tomini and put him in the 75g tank and observe him for a week and then release if needed but I was thinking of introducing them both at the same time.
Thanks for the feedback and advise
