Naso Tang??

[michika]

I'd say skip the naso, they grow really fast. In a 46 I would say skip all tangs, they will produce too much waste, and they grow far too fast.

Why not look into pygmy, or dwarf angels?

Because dwaf angles nip at corals. Do you think a kole tang would be sutable

[michika]

Not all angels nip, I've had quite a few that were model citizens, lemonpeel, singapore, white tail, emperor, regal. It seems that as long as you keep your fish well fed with a variety of foods they don't seem to stray.

Kole tangs still get too big. While they do clean glass and rocks quite well, they aren't small tank fish.

Do tangs really produce that much waste??

When you balance out what they do for the system, vs. what they take from it, its unequal. Tangs eat a lot, but they produce a huge amount of waste. Most of the food they eat needs to be added to the tank, vs. a fish like a sixline wrasse, who will eat pods, something the tank naturally produces.

With a 46gal tank, like has been said your better off going with the small angels Flame....Coral Beauty [ Pigmy ] I have both and no corals have been touched
