recently got a kole tang in my 65g. i think it's a pretty fish..mine is a dark purple w/ lighter, almost red, spots. it's my 2yrs olds favorite. i think it brings the other fish to life.. the other fish rarely ventured to the left side of my tank.. that has changed since i got the kole. id highly recommend one.

Kole Tangs get too big for a 3 foot long tank. If the 65 were a 4 foot long tank that was shorter and more narrow then it would probably be okay. Kole Tangs get between 7-8 inches when fully grown. If you are dead set on it the other 3 tangs are better choices.

yep, I dont think feel comfortable putting any tang in my tank for its entire life since it is only 3 feet long. I think I will stick with wrasses or maybe a lion for my centerpiece. thanks!
