tangs

[Cruella]

what oyher tang can I have with my yellow tang?? I would like a naso or a powder blue.

not wanting to sound like the "tang police"....but.....depending on the size of your tank one tang is probably enough...tangs need a lot of swimming space and have quite an attitude at times..especially with other similar fish...plus in the right conditions they can grow quite large..

In general, tangs of "different" shape tend to be more compatible...but...

Were you not just recently having water quality issues? If so, take some time to research it while your tank stablizes.

Tangs are very sensitive....and your tank seems to be a bit unstable. The only other tang I would concider is possibly a blue hippo tang.

Agree with everyone else on this topic! Your 75 gal could not support a Naso or a Powder Blue with a Yellow Tang. Best left to 1 Tang.

Highly sensitive fish but a joy to keep.

powder blue is one of the more difficult to get to live long term. Kole is a better choice, albeit not as pretty. Rabbit fish are great fish as well and there are several types commonly available now.

I was looking into a Foxface but you and Joe mentioned another 1. What was it again? I'm getting old
