Tang suggestions

[Fishn28]

Yeah I love the color on powder blues. Would love to try one. Maybe in the future I'll think about it. It would have to be the last tang anyway.

any chance I can see a pic of the tank now. Im interested in getting the same one down the road

Sure I have picture of the tank set up with no fish. I haven’t gotten a picture of the tank with all my fish lol weirdly enough. Just videos. My tank has only been set up since Halloween this year. Still got a few things to clean up cable management wise.

love the rock work! going to be a very nice looking tank once you get animals in. I think you should consider a Blonde Naso Tang also, they are some of the best looking tangs in my opinion

I'll have to send an updated picture with my fish today. Blonde naso would be awesome! I may have too many tangs/Large fish already though to add a Blonde Naso.

I was recently looking at a 150G tank. I was curious what tangs can be kept in this system. How many tangs would yall keep?

I definitely want a white tail bristletooth, yellow (or purple) tang, and powder blue tang.

Any suggestions on different tangs or tangs that would work?

Tank Dimensions: L59.06 X D23.62 X H23.62IN

so its about 5 ft tank.

I had a yellow tang was very shy hardly came out and was about 4 inches long. It died on me just like the one mentioned in an earlier post. Very skittish and will injure itself. I bought a Vlaming which is blue. If you research it it says they need a large tank. The lfs owner who I trust told me my 90 was ok. Very happy with it it is very aggressive and is the boss. Not shy at all will eat out of my hand. Loves Nori, and Colbalt Mysis Spirulina flakes. It is a pig and is now twice the size it was. \is now about 4.5 inches. Very happy with it

love the fox face. thinking about getting a cbb for my 75. what's your experience with it so far?

Also , Powder Blue Tangs get ick easily, so be warned.

If it gets ich it’s because it’s in your tank. Qt and never an issue

 

[Crabby48]

My vote isn’t 2 as more then two it can help spread out any aggression or bullying

ich is like the common cold, its everywhere, once in the tank it will probably never go away

Nope it’s not. It just won’t magically appear. Qt and be aware what goes in your tank. Ich won’t fall from the sky and end up in your tank. And yes once in a tank it can be removed

And it’s not even close to a common cold. That’s like saying a t bone and an apple are like each other

My experience is make sure u see it eating first before u buy it.

The guy I got mine from said “oh he’s eating pellets that’s all I feed!” That fish didn’t once go for pellets….

Make sure u have plenty of food options for him to try.

Mine didn’t eat for first week almost. All he was doing was trying to eat my snails: nassarius and conches

Heavy feeding got him to finally eat. He eats mysis, brine, and nothing else I feed he will eat.

I don’t have much experience with cbb but he was one of the first into my tank in order for him to establish himself. He was very skittish at first.

Are they fast growers? And have you seen them mess with coral?

Idk lol I just got it about 3 weeks ago. This tank is brand new set up on October 31st.

So I've had my tangs for about 8-10 months depending on the tang.

I ended up getting rid of some tangs and all the rabbitfish (too big).

Maculiceps tang
Powder Blue Tang
Orange Shoulder tang
Purple
Gem
Desjardini

These are the tangs I have in my waterbox reef lx 290.6

I was curious any ideas why the Orange shoulder is the only one that grazes on my rocks? They occasionally will flash their fins and may do a tiny chase. No serious aggression between any of these fish. They have been together for minimum of 8 months now. They will all eat nori together and not fight. I just notice that throughout the day the orange shoulder will graze on rocks/glass. Others though will just swim around the rocks.
