Ctenochaetus hawaiiensis - chevron tang

[trainerken]

Hey,

I would like to put two of this useful beauties in my reef tank +/- 200 gallons (7 ft L x 1.9 ft W)... at he same moment, a near adult and a flashy orange juvenile

Is this possible...experiences would be appreciated.


Grtz,
Kurt

PS. Other tangs in my system are Z. gemmatums and an A. pyroferus juvenile

I love these guys, one reason why I never tried adding a juvenile to my tank with my adult was the fact that if it would not work the razors from the adult would slice faster than I could get him back out before severe damage.

You'd definitely be fine with a single Chevron.

I fear you may run into aggression problems with multiple in a tank of that size.

Thanks for your reply alton.. but if they were put at the same moment in the tank?

Hey Amoore, thx for your answer.

two chevrons will fight. even in public aquariums you rarely see more than one.

it will not work, they are great fish, but not with any other tangs.

Hey,

Thank you for the reply but A chevron with "other" tangs is possible.
Zebrasoma (gemmatum) don't eat entirely the same greens as the chevron and the shape is different so no probs.
