90g FOWLR, which tang?

[kakalakasha]

I'm going to be starting a 90g fowlr and I'm wondering which tang you would get any why?

I have always liked the chevron tang if you can afford them, other wise the purple

So for a tang I think I decided on the Spotted Bristletooth Tang (http://liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+1536+2994&pcatid=2994) as it is the smallest tang and I really like the colors.


But now I want to make a stocking list for the 90g fowlr.
How does this sound?

Sailfin! 90g should be enough space (will be close). My Sailfin is my favorite fish in my tank, even if he is a complete pig and steals food from the corals like he is starving. Great personality and very active.

Out of the listed Tangs, I like the Kole personally.

minimum tank size for a sailfin is 180g when grown. 90g is not close.

Rskillz, don't you have a 72 gallon tank?

 

[rioshilo]

Maybe this one. I think it's a mimic tang. It was about an inch long when I first got it. Now it's about 2" long and I dont think it's going to get much bigger then 5-6" when full grown.



He was sooo tiny!

 

[Alunai]

Those are beautiful tangs, I hope to have one of those myself one day.

 

[ducatimikep]

It has been opened

 

[reefried]

the achilles is my favorite tang so get one!!..........or how about a black tang or an orange shoulder......

This sounds like a very nice selection. I personally always like to keep my clowns in pairs, but that is a personal choice. Also, might look at cinnamon clowns... a prettier, brighter version of the tomato, IMO.

Orange shoulder, sailfin, black, and achilles are inappropriate choices for the OP's 90g, for various reasons, including size, hardiness, and/or temperament.

 

[rioshilo]

Definitely agree. I love my orange shoulder but at 12-14" they would be way to much for a 90 gallon. Even at 6" they require more room then that

 

[todd141]

I personally love the powder brown tangs....that gets my vote.

Agreed. Chevrons are superb.

According to who?

Is that a mimic? He looks sweet! Where did u get him?

Yes, I looked it up. Never really knew the name till now. It's a mimic eibli tang and it mimics an eibli angel color and pattern while it is young. It completely changes as it gets older. I got it from a friend who was moving out of state.

Powder brown needs the same requirements as a powder blue or gold rim tang at least a 125 and a 150 or 180 is preferred. I'd go with the spotted or Kole tang as they are awesome grazers and have nice even personalities. If you can swing the extra dough though the Chevron has all the aforementioned qualities and is a show stopper with its patterns and colors.
