Tang selection... whatcha think?

[AddictedtoSalt]

I have a hipp, yellow, whitetail, and powder blue, all of which where added at different times and aside from the usual chasing around in the first few days havent had any issues at all. I guess it depends on the individual fish's personality whether the will be aggressive toward each other. GL either way you decide to go

I wouldn't mind an excuse to reinforce the floor and grab a 300 Deep Dimension in a couple of years. :D

personally out of your list the purple tang is my favorite there colors are just so awesome! i to agree about the chevron tang if there juvenile colors stayed the same whole time that'd be my favorite tang.

It does look a bit like a Kole tang, doesn't it? **** it, Rob. lol

How long have you had your whitetail? And how big is your tank? Are they as red as they look in the pics on live aquaria? Thanks for posting!

Yeah, I hear ya... I think I may have to pickup a purple tang, too. :) They may have to stay on the list.

You should get one, too. :D

haha you know why not try to be different and get all the tangs on your list just pay close attention to the aggression and se how it goes.

 

[NeveSSL]

I think I will end up getting most of them. The two bristletooths stay small. They count as one, right? :D

Really and truly, I should just talk my wife into letting me go ahead and do the 300g Deep Dimension and get all the tangs. :)

In my experience desijardini sail fin can get pretty aggressive.

Thanks, BK. Do you still have one?

Ha! I wish. Can't do over 6ft where my tank is, though... thus the Deep Dimension.

No, he got evicted once I moved into the 180.

 

[NeveSSL]

lol... I see. Because of aggression?

Brandon

 

[bknapp]

Yeah, he killed more than one fish. They're gorgeous fish though.

 

[ReefFreak@]

are sailfins really that aggressive I've been eyeing up a nice 3 inch one at the lfs

 

[bdbd]

Just add them... they're the most beautiful fish

 

[ReefFreak@]

Agreeded!

In my experience the desjardini variant are more aggressive than the regular.

 

[NeveSSL]

Thanks to Murfreesboro Aquatics, I was able to get a whitetail bristletooth!!!

I am really stoked about this fish. I also got a purple tang. First two down, second two to go. :) I've decided on these two guys, a desjardini, and an achilles.

Brandon have you ever thought about a tenetti tang? Gary had one and that thing was the nicest looking tang I ever seen. Pictures don't so justice you have to see it in person

 

[NeveSSL]

Wow, those do look really cool! If I had a larger tank, I'd try to squeeze him in. However, I don't think I can take away either the desjardini or the achilles, so I'll have to wait until my next tank for him. :)
