Tang Plan

[Spanseld]

Looking to add 2-3 Tangs in my 90 gallon. Any good recommendations? This is a list of the 10 fish I currently have in my tank.

> 2x Ocellaris Clownfish
> Filamented Flasher Wrasse
> Leopard Wrasse
> Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse
> Melanurus Wrasse
> Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse
> Bicolor Blenny
> Blue Green Chormis
> Royal Gramma

That's a lot of tangs for a 90 gallon :/ not much to choose from, I'd say something from the zebrasomas or maybe a kole or tomini?

You would not be able to fit more than 1 tang. The only ones that would work are kole, tomini, and mimic tang. So chose one of those and you are fully stocked. IMO you are good now without a tang.

I honestly think you could fit two.

Go with 1 tang, yellow tangs are simple but striking fish. You may be able to put more than 1 tang in there but the problem is that after awhile the tangs are going to start bickering and chasing each other and it gets real annoying to watch 2 or 3 fish continually chase each other in the fish tank. That being said, if you put multiple tangs in there, put them in all at once and have good filtration.

Well you might be able to do one zebrasoma and a kole, but it would be pushing it to the max.

with what you currently have, one yellow, purple, mimic, tomini or kole would work. but i suggest only one tang in that already stocked 90.

Only one...

What are the dimensions of the tank? Perhaps we can suggest something else besides tangs...

Multiple tangs wouldn't work in anything but a tank that is at least 6' long. I decided against putting a second tang in my tank(125) because the thought of one after fully grown really takes up a lot of space. One tang will kill the other in the 90, a yellow tang would probably kill a kole in a 90. The question is not if, but when. I would agree with SDguy, why not add a couple more smaller fish?

If you really want a bigger fish that is a herbivore have you looked at a small foxface? they tend to not be as aggressive is tight quarters.
