Sohal tang

[Copperband bt]

Guys I am planning to add I Sohal tang to my 190 g tank
aleady have a 3 tangs in my tank the Sohal which I wanna
Add is bigger than my tangs is that safe ??
And if I wanna add another fish after is that possible cause
I read that the Sohal will kill any new add to the tank

I don't recommend that. IMO, a Sohal needs to be in a 1000 gallon or more tank. They are mean as hell. They are true work of the devil.

Tank is about 150g too small and I'm guessing 4ft short

 

[Copperband bt]

It's 190 g 6 ft long

What are the other tangs?

Sohals are pretty mean and very active, but it can work in your sized tank.

Use a social acclimation box for new additions to help lessen future aggression.

Purple tang powder blue tang and sailfine tang all of them smaller than the Sohal
By 1 inch

Once again, I am recommending not to do it. You got 2 disadvantages against you right now, 1) He's bigger than your other fish, so it won't take long for it too figure that out and realize he can rule the tank once he acclimates to the tank. 2) You probably won't be able to add anything after it. Good Luck!

size of Sohal?

there will probably be aggression from the pb...

The sohal is one fish I will never keep again. Not too bad when small, but once past about 7-8 inches - watch out.

You were already given good advice.

recently I saw a sohal that was from a 1000 gallon tank that was being removed. the fish was not very aggressive and very handsome, however, it was huge: over a foot. it was only 6 years old and it looked big enough to eat. imo, it would not fit in your tank or will soon outgrow it, get something else. if you like the look of giant fish in small tanks; Oscars are a good choice.

None, your tank is too small for the Sailfin that's in there too.

It's 190 g 6 ft long

Sorry stunning fish, but that tank is too small

No one is going to tell you any size Sohal is ok for a 190g 6ft tank, because it's not. You need 350g ish and a 8 ft long tank bare minimum, 10ft long is best

No more tangs!

That tank is too small for those tangs. They are going to beat each other up
