Thinking about a tang

[jtl]

Are kole tangs more or less susceptible to ich? I think in general tangs are all ich magnets. Also does a kole go after gha?

@Musovski does your kole eat GHA?

More questions....
Which has more color the Kole or the Tomini?
Can I qt this and a clown and maybe another small fish in a 20g long (12x12x30)

aint nothing wrong with a yellow eyed kole tang! Look at the red/purple mix with the yellow and blue/white lines through the body. @Katrina71 is right, this is one of my babies!

Thanks, now I want one hahahahahahaha

Can I QT in a 20 long? Are they more or less susceptible to ich, velvet, urinoma?

All Tangs are ich magnets and there have been some accounts of Uronema in them but after a proper QT process you should be ok.

This is what I use and my success rate is now much higher since starting it.

Try the yellow tang, much less expensive, and not a very quick grower. Also gets along with just about anything.

A Yellow Tang gets along with most everyone. They are buttheads and bullies!

Way to complicated and in most cases not probably necessary. If tangs are that needy then I will get something else. Over medicating is not that good for these animals.
