From what I've read, clown tangs (and sohals) will get very aggressive when they feel cramped. You should be fine with this fish and the other tang for maybe 2 years.. then they will be too big for a 90. You'll realize this when you see how big these fish get. Your tank will look small.

.. my 2 cents.

they are huge swimmers, they really should have a 6+ foot tank.

I have made my mind up...it would be cruel to buy this fish...even though I would be saving it from a smaller tank in the store.

I think that is a wise decision. Wow someone who does research and contemplates before purchase. I'm impressed.

I used to have a clown tang in a 150 gallon tank and he was okay. He definitely was the boss but generally did get along with the other fish. But anytime I stuck my hand in the tank to do something. He would come and just hammer on me and try to bite me. I thought he was a good looking fish and in spite of the fact I think my tank size was okay, he ticked me one too many times with his attacks and so I caught him and sold him to a local pet store (for next to nothing, good old Animal House in Chilliwack) Boy has that place got downhill since Mike and Dale left. . . But that's another story.

always like to ask questions before I add something to my aquarium...i hate when things are unhappy in my aquarium...I figured that this should be common practice for every experienced reefer
