purple tang

[scubadawg]

Purple tangs go in Edmonton for about 150.00 to 200.00

I know where I can find one for 100.00 still very small too! a couple weeks and thay litte guy is goin home with me! if I could have one of each tang all in the same place I would. I've often wondered how with seemingly such sucess so many yellow tangs can be housed together in one of the tanks at west ed, thats for another posting though.

I know it's the one at Red Coral for $100.00, I have one already.

The tang police would say a 90 is to small for any tangs never mind 3. That being said I've found koles to be non aggressive. Not sure about the convict as I have no experience with them.

Purple tang is the most aggressive fish in my 225... I wouldn't want to see what he would do to other tangs in a 90.

Have to agree on that purples are aggressive at least mine sure was.

It is great that you love tangs as I do but you really need to carefully consider providing them with the optimum conditions. You do don't you?
So plan to move up a couple of feet to a 6 footer and add tangs to your hearts content.

IME it would be poor judgement to add a purple tang which is known to be aggressive to a small tank that already has two tangs in it as has already been posted.

Do you have some app that alerts you to the word Tang??

Man these posts drive me nuts. Buy a 6 foot tank and then you can add a whole bunch of them there tangs! How does adding a measly 45 gallons then mean you can have a whole bunch of tangs but a person shouldn't have any in a 90?

You used to own the smallest 6 foot tank a person can buy i think. 135 gallons and it was a BULLNOSE to boot so technically it averages out to a little less than 6 feet. Not to mention it was a narrow tank at only 18 inches. You had multiple tangs... and a tang that gets massive and nearly always murderous in the case of the sohal.

- regal tang
- sohal tang
- purple tang
- acanthuus pyroferus

Give it a rest already. I'm sure you've annoyed more people into buying the suspect tang than steered people clear.
