Tangs for a 90 gal tank

[Will Haider]

My tank is a 90 gallon aquarium with 2 mp40ws , a 950 gallon gph return and has minimal aquascaping what tang could I keep happy and healthy here. Im not a reef "noob" I've been in the hobby for 3 years now I just want some advice for tangs as I'm not experienced with them thanks, will

I would stick with something that stays on the smaller side tang wise. Something like a Tomini, Yellow, Kole, or Scopas just to give you some suggestions.

How about a purple ?

 

[nonstopfishies]

That should be alright. What are your other inhabitants?

 

[Will Haider]

a pair of true percula clownfish,a trio of sunset anthias,the a flame tail blenny, and a yellow coris wrasse

How about a purple ?

I personally would skip a purple in any 4 foot tank. Tried it in the past, and they end up getting too aggressive as they grow and get more cramped. The last one I had draw blood on a male Clarkii.

+1 on the kole tang. cool fish and can find food picking your rock work. pretty timid in my experience with them as well. and they are not to expensive were as a purple will run you over $100

 

[Will Haider]

Ok thanks Im going with a kole tang thanks

I had a Kole Tang that jumped out the tank.. dont know if that is a common thing for them to do or but something to watch out if you have a open tank

I think any fish can jump. Mesh tops (NOT egg crate) prevent that.

I had my PBT in a 90 for over ten years before it went into my 170...just some new fish it would attack and it would have to removed for a few days while others it left alone....I don't recommend adding another tang with it.
