Suitable tangs for 4ft tank

[Ryan_Lap]

I have a powder brown that has never given me a problem. Hes my favorite fish as he is always swimming around and very active. He is in a 90g and I plan on possibly adding another tang in the future.

I also have PB that doesnt give me any problem, he is a very active swimmer, though he does enjoy chasing my Lemarcks Angel. The PB is definatly one of my favourite fish to watch! He is usually the first to rise in the morning even before the lights go on, and one of the last to go to sleep at night, definatly has a personality of his own!

Well, in light of the "pro multi-tang" atmosphere, here's my list:

Naso Tang
Regal Tang
Sailfin Tang
2 Mimic Tangs
Clown Tang
Powder Brown
Antlantic Blue
Kole Tang

(And that's just the tangs) I keep these is a 150 gal-that's 4 ft long-but really deep. I have about 150 lbs. of live rock in the tank and another 80 in the sump. I have never had a problem with fighting, being territorial or eating. They are all kept fat, happy and sociable. I think that as long as you pay attention to the fish, they will let you know what is working and what isn't. People may have their "rules" about what can or can't be done, but every case, tank, situation is different-and not all rules apply.

I say go with your gut and let your fish tell you how to proceed.

I have seen this tank and they are all happy healthy fish

P.S i have a purple tang and a blue tang in my 120g (4'x2'x2') and they are fine, however i wish i would have waited on the purple as i cant put any more tangs in or he will kill them (RIP kole tang)

...for the compliments. It's a work in progress-like many tanks.



It's hard to see (and may not be in this picture) but I also have a seahorse and a snowflake eel in there. Like I said-make your own rules.

Hey Michelle. Tank looks great!

That really is a nice looking tank, makes me want to get more tangs.
