so are they dying from fighting/picking or unknown causes to you?

 

[Crusty Old Shellback]

From your fish list, I'd say your overstocked with tangs and they are probably fighting for food/territory. Even if your tangs are small, you still have a lot of them. The 2 vlamingii's will soon out grow the tank if they haven't already.

I know because mine outgrew my 7' long 400G tank.

My tank is 350 gallons and I don't know why they are dying they eat with no problem and the other fish don't fight with them they'll do good for 2 -3 month and just die.

Wow that's a lot of Tangs for your tank.

How many tangs can I have in a 350g tank?

How many tangs can I have in a 350g tank?

umm its a fin per gallon equation n tangs have five fins right? so i'd say 32 total inches of tang for your stand height, of course if you have it on linoleum that changes everything!!


hth








Tangs are very big area swimmers need tons of space and some are very teritorial i would not keep any more than 1 tang per 100 gallons i didnt get that from some rule i just have that opinion.
