Kole vs. Tomini vs. Squaretail

[Ross33]

I'm debating on one of these 3 for my 65g.

Ctenochaetus truncatus - Squaretail Bristletooth
Ctenochaetus tominiensis - Tomini
Ctenochaetus strigosus - Kole

Looking for personal experience with personality, aggression, and hardiness. All I have read says they all get to be about the same size, with the Tomini maybe a little bit smaller.

Thanks!

I had a 3-4 inch kole tang in a 75g when I first started and although it was pretty peaceful towards all the tank mates, the tank seemed way too small for it. It swims so fast that it quickly covers the entire span of swim space.

Thanks for the reply. Was he always out front or did he hide a lot ?

Does anyone have experience with a tomini?

I have a Tomini and he is great kind of shy but once he realized I bring food to the tank he became very active. always in search of algae on the rocks and walls.

also the better looking fish of the 3

He was always out and exploring the tank

My Kole is always out swimming the tank and picking at the rocks
