WhiteCheek Tang?

[SteveJakubiec]

Anyone have any experience with the White Cheek Tang (Acanthurus nigricans)? Are they agressive? How are they with smaller fish? Would one be fine in a 120g tank? I see they only grow to be 8" Max. Would there be any conflict of it being housed with a yellow tang, seeing as how it's Acanthurus/Zebrasoma(sp?).



Thanks,
Steve

they are fairly aggressive especially once established. the one main thing with them is they are basically a brother to the achilles tang. they fair almost the same as an achilles when it comes to hardiness. i wouldn't recommend one in a 120 if it were me, or any 4 ft tank.

Oh.. alright thanks, just saw one on the Diver's Den and it caught my eye.

Would a yellow tang be happy in a 120g Tank, just making sure, to see if there would be problems.
