Tang compatibility in a 130g???

[nanomania]

I have a phillipine yellow tang, that ill be shifting to my new 130g. I was planning on 2 more tangs or just one more. Here is the list:

Lavender tang
Mimic ebeli tang
Bristle Tomini tang
Regal tang

Im not intrested un any other tang, just want to add 1 or 2 from the above list. Please advice.

Regal tangs can be little punks if anything is added after. I would get the bristle tomini because they are one of the most peaceful tangs and don't mind any tangs added after. And then it comes down to the Ebili or the Regal. Lavender isn't all that nice. I think you'll have better luck with the regal being added instead of the ebili because the tang you have now and the ebili look similar in shape so they might pick at each other. Where the regal is a little more different. But that's your decision.

A regal will outgrow the tank. I've had lavenders get mean. A Phillippine yellow tang is also a mimic tang, so will be more likely to be an issue with an eiblii mimic.

Yeah, that's a type of mimic. It and the eiblii mimic will have issues in a 130g.

I like tomini as it stays small but colour is not great enough. But yes regal is my fav, only issue is it grows huge. So maybe i might not add it or might buy a 2" size so it gets adjusted to the tank size.

I was researching a bit and came across a thread where the ebili nipped lps corals. Lavander tang i liked as it stays at just 8" so was considering it.

It's compatible, but sailfins get huge. I wouldn't advise one in a 130g.

Regal tangs reach a larger adult size, but also will eventually outgrow a 130g. Sailfind reach the size of a dinnerplate.
