Whitecheek Tang (Acanthurus nigricans) Care

[snaza]

Hi,

Setting up my new 200g tank and looking for a stocking list. i've read and read and really wanted a Whitecheek tang but getting mixed reviews and captive care. Anyone got any advice?

Im upgrading to the 200g from a 120 which has been running 5 years. I don't have Any fish anymore but my wife insists i get another yellow and blue tank. I'm also looking at a kole tang. would 4 tangs plus a few anthias and I blenny be ok in a 200g?

I plan to intoduce all tangs at the same time as to try and avoid territorial behavior. is this the best way?

thanks

Aaron

I have had a few over the years, Never had a problem with any of them but they are prone to ich, just like the powder blue and brown.
So make sure it goes through QT before putting in your DT, If added together I see no problem, they can be aggresive to fish added after them any fish just not tangs, I had one that chased my flame and coral beauty around for a week. But after that he left them alone.
