Tang Reccomendation

[Kevin34]

I am looking for a tang that isnt the everyday blue hippo or yellow tang. I want something a little different but still affordable and easy-moderate to care for. I was originally thinking aboot getting a desjardini tang but started thinking that it would get too big for my 125g tank. My stocklist that I plan to have is 2 clowns, tiger jawfish, midas blenny, flasher wrasse, bicolor angel, copperband butterfly, and a magnificent foxface to go along with the tang if that changes anything.

Tominis are sweet and not super common. Whats moderately priced? But tominis are hardy tangs with good personailites.

I love my Kole tang. Pictures never do the species justice IMO.

You could take a look at the Convict Tang.

I dont want to spend over $70

try a thompsons tang, not that common. awesome colors and cheaper.

Yellow Eye or Blue Eye Kole are nice.

I like a Purple Tang for that size setup.Most are a little bit more than $70.

look into the mimic tangs,there are some really cool looking ones.

 

[hybridgenius]

get a turbo tang... very very RARE. Goodluck finding it though.

 

[prugs]

My vote is for a mimic tang. I find small ones locally for $20-$40 each.

I would love to have a purple tang but I want my tang to be peaceful too because of the copperband and bicolor angel which are very fragile fish that dont like to be pushed around.

 

[CMcNeil]

the copperband will probably be fine with any tang you get.i have a CBB with an achilles,mimic,and purple tang and they all get along.the mimic tangs really are cool fish,the one i have looks like the eibli angel and i believe he only cost like $25.

kole tang is probably the best bet for a tank that size that. Very active and hardy.

 

[ejrabekoff]

I would go with a kole tang. They are beautiful. Mimic tangs are pretty when they are young, but then change to a brown color, which is still quite pretty. Kole tangs are easy to keep, relatively inexpensive, and beautiful.

my vote is for the atlantic blue

I love my purple tang and he's been with me for 8 years and hasn't gotten any bigger in my 100gal since I got him (he's maybe 5 inches). He is only aggressive to other tangs and I had to put a whopper of a Naso and yellow tang, but they do well together. The blonde Naso is pretty too and hardy, but not as pretty as that atlantic blue....

 

[jb1972]

He's got nice color and I can't wait to watch him change to all blue

I guess Massachusetts is pretty far North, but I didn't know they spoke with a Canadian accent.

How about an Acanthurus maculiceps? I think acropora nut has one; you should take a look at his tank of the month thread.

 

[sundancer]

I think your tank is maxed out already. Just my opinion. If I really want a tang I would take something out first. probably the angel.

 

[discotu]

hope you don't mind if I jump onto this thread...I have a 225g with a yellow tang, purple tang, and blue hippo tang along with a bunch of other fish...they're all pretty well establish. Would i be possible for me to add a powder blue tang?

thanks!
