Hello everyone hope your day is well. Ok so I have been researching a lot lately about what tangs to add and I’d like some help please if you wouldn’t mind. When I was in this hobby 15+ years ago I had a lone yellow and loved it but my heart was always set on the PB, PB, Achilles and said to myself when I got back into this hobby past Dec that this was my go to list that I will build around.
Well that has changed because of the realization of the advancement in care not to mention there frailties in regards to stress and disease. Sure, they are all Tangs which are by nature a stressed fish but i realize that some are more prone If I could use that term.
So this is the list I have come up with and would need help deciding how many and if there is another I should consider or one I should delete due to greater potential of issues.
My tank is a WB LX 290. (72.3x29.5x25.6)
The only stock I do have at the moment are..
2 Gladiator clowns
1 fire fish
1 orchid dottyback
3 pajama cardinals
I will be ordering the tangs so I can introduce them all at the same time and won’t probably be for a few months so they are all together.
I just wanted to try to do this the best way without the issues later. I will be QT the fish, not too sure if I will medicate or observe. I do have copper power and prazi in case but tbh I’m a little intimidated of the process but I don’t want to place them into my DT with the possibility of carrying ich or anything else they may be carrying.
Ok here is the list I am trying to decide on which ones to get for my size aquarium. sorry for the novel.
1) Gem Tang
2) Yellow Tang
3) Black Longnose Tang
4) White Tail Bristletooth Tang
5) Chevron Tang
6) Blonde Nasso Tang
I would like to add a purple Tang but not to sure if they are like the PB which are highly stressful fish that may cause areas of concern.
Thank you everyone for all you input, have a great day!!
