Clown Tang?

[united417]

I had a clown with a purple and powder blue for 3 years together. I've had my clown for over 4 years, it is 9", powder blue is close to 7", purple tang got ich and in the HT died. For reference, the clown trigger is 9.5" exact. These photos were to show off the clown trigger, not the tang. But to answer your question, you could grow one in there for a while, but at the 4" mark should be in a much longer tank.

awesome shots OSTguy, thanks for sharing :beer:

What a great choice of fish.

I got rid of the the 3 purple tangs. For now I got a male blue throat trigger that is about 3" inches. I'm almost thinking of just going with a yellow tang or a purple tang, not both. What are some other really nice fish for a reef tank? Right now I have a cleaner wrasse, pair of clownfish and a blue throat trigger. The tank is 150 gallon.

a purple and a yellow is a 50/50 shot at best. I had that tank for many years and the 4' length can limit the qty and species of tangs. I always had a purple in it and I liked it best when it was just the one tang. I liked keeping a lot of open water fish like Geni. angels, anthias, fairy wrasses and chromis. Since the tank is so tall its nice to have fish that stay toward the top.
