Another Tang Question

[davudvl]

Hi Guys,
I have a 125 g reef with a red sea sailfin as the primary resident. (5 in) He lives with two percula clowns, a bangai cardinal and lawnmower blenny.
I would like to add some color to my tank, especially blue and yellow.
I wanted to avoid putting in more tangs, but I cant find anything else that fits. ( I dont like rabbitfish).
I am thinking of adding the Hippo Tang and Yellow Tang.
Bad or OK idea?
If anyone thinks its bad, can you please suggest alternatives.

Thanx

What about a Yellow Longnose Butterflyfish, lemonpeel or Bluefin Angelfish? A lot of people are going to tell you to avoid adding any more tangs to your tank. But you could probably add the yellow tang and be fine. Tough call though they might not get along in that size tank. Good luck.

Some kind of Wrasse..A Salon Fairy Wrasse maybe

Actually a Hippo tang would work well with the Sail Fin tang. I would stay away from the Yellow tang as they can be aggressive and may cause problems.

If you get a Hippo tang just make sure you quaratine it as they're ich magnets. Also don't get one of those very small ones, size of a nickel, as they have bad surival rates. Get one that atleast an 1"-2" range.

A yellow tang and/or hippo tang would be the obvious answer. How about an Orange-epaulette tang (surgeonfish)?

Consider angel fishes such as flame or coral beauty.

Never heard of Orange-epaulette tang. Do you have any pics?

I think he means an Orange Shoulder tang.
