Again I must disagree with this. My Kole is larger than my yellow and uses more of my 170 for swimming than the yellow. So in my case its the opposite.
Plus they have a long body length, with a somewhat similar shape as the Regal, but not as large.
Yellows, Scopas and Purple tangs, seem to stay smaller and swim less. {if thats possible with tangs.  } |
That's the problem. We try to choose one tang knowing that in many instances a poster will only choose the opinions that confirm their desires as Doch has done. Better a small Kole than a Regal, Achilles, Niger, Vlamingi etc. IMO.
I wonder whether those who encourage a new reefer to go out and stock smaller tanks with tangs know the damage they are doing? Sadly, they are aware of the numerous authorities on the subject but choose to ignore them and give advice as if they were experts.
