tangs

Hi all, looking to add my final fish-stock step, three tangs to my Peninsula 650 - Question, before I head out searching for the perfect trio (Thinking two yellow, one purple). Theres plenty of space for them to each find territory but, to minimise potential conflict, think i'm best looking for...

A little bit of background. Been reefing on and off for the last 15 years. I started out with a 55g back in Florida. It was a good learning experience, unfortunately, I had to take the tank down when I moved back to Texas. A couple of years later I bought a BioCube 29g and had it for a couple of...

I am so upset right now. I've had a beautiful Yellow Tang in my QT for the last month or so while my 120 finishes cycling. The tang was swimming, had no signs of illness, ate regularly up until today. I just found him lifeless on the bottom of my QT. I started Copper treatment (Cuprion) on...

1. You should Quarantine all fish, especially Tangs 2. You should introduce tangs into the Display Tank at the same time to reduce hostility 3. Likely need to quarantine them together Question: How big a quarantine tank do you need? I have a 180G DT and plan on 3 tangs. I have a 20G QT...

Last night I was tinkering with my skimmer after lights out and I must’ve startled my Tomini Tang because he took a flying LEAP out of my tank - I don’t mean he causally hoisted himself over the side I mean he took flight. It was so fast that all I heard was a splash and then wild flapping...

Unfortunately I'm tearing down my dream tank . Starting with live stock XXL Blue Hippo Tang. $275 XXL Orange Shoulder Tang $250 Pair of Blue Jaw Triggers $160 Males is aprox 5.5" ish Female is Apro 4.5" ish Zebra Moray Eel 18"-24" ish . $140 Location Is Mount Joy PA 17552

So my LFS got this guy in last week and have been slowly getting him back to health but what type of tang is this, they were not entirely sure but thought orange shoulder tang but I can’t find any photos online that match it’s look.

I feel like I already know the answer before I ask this though I want to know if it is possible. I already add a Purple Tang in my tank (love it, eats very well) and I thought that was going to be my last fish, unless I upgrade and get a bigger tank. Though I did see a beautiful powder brown...

SO we are finally getting to the part where we gotta come up with a list of future inhabitants for our new ~220 build. Tank is 72x30x24 and the aim for the tank is a nice mixed reef with large LPS and some easier to keep sps (not going the full Acro route, been there, too much work). Tank will...

How long should I leave my Yellow Eye Tang in the acclimation box? Already completed 30 days of QT prior to going in, but I have a Yellow Tang. The tank is 150 gallons and the yellow eye is much smaller so the yellow isn’t paying him any attention. I also have 50 lbs of BRS rerf saver rock...

I have a Powder Blue and a Purple Tang in QT. They've been in there for 1 1/2 so far and have been dosing it with Prazi Pro. So far there has been so sign of Ich on either of them. I was going to QT them for a month. However, I was wondering your suggestions. Should I dose Copper even though...

so I’m just finishing up a new 120 gal “consolidation” build. I took all 7 of my tanks down and consolidated bits of each into one tank. It was getting to be too much and overtaking my life. The problem with consolidating everything into one tank is that I can’t decide on which fish to keep. My...

Hello, I have been looking to add a Kole Tang to my 90 gallon and I have notice that some of the Kole tangs that I have seen have either been brown or purple in color. Can anyone explain to me this difference and how I could order a kole tang so that it will specifically be more on the purple...

The Cook Islands are about half-way between Hawaii, and Australia. The largest island, Rarotonga, is surrounded by a barrier reef, so the island is circled by a protected lagoon. This first immersion video displays some of the beauty of the sea life found in the lagoon.

looking to add 1 tang with a foxface in a 125 gal tank. I heard Powders are super sensitive and I do not have a UV light for this tank. Had 1 friend mention that tangs from the Zebrasoma genus are the only hardy ones but I'm not sure how true that is.

I was going to post this in the current tang thread but I thought it might be hi-jacking.. Anyway..Our tank is becoming more established and I need to make a plan in which order to add the tangs. The display is a 225 6"X2'Wx 30T lots of room to swim both in front and in back of the rock...

Hey fellow reef keepers. My fiancé and I recently purchased our first tank 4 months ago the Red Sea Reefer 250 and it has been a blast ever since! This past weekend we picked up a used Red Sea Max 130D our second tank! This hobby has consumed us. We are in love with fish keeping. We started a...

I want to have 6 or so Anthias in my new build. I want to get them now and put them in quarantine now so they will be viable to move to the DT when its ready. How many can be together, and whats the best way to keep them from being aggressive? Are their any fish they can't be housed with? I'd...

Hello guys I'm new to the hobby and still currently choosing my stocking on a 90 gallon tank I have. Currently I have 2 blue/green chromis. I am going to be adding two Ocellaris clownfish this friday and would like to add a reef safe wrasse, a Foxface Rabbit fish and then a Tang best friend for...

Hey gang, I just had to pull my White-Tailed Bristletooth tang out of my tank since he decided he hates wrasses and gobies after a couple of months. I was pretty dumbfounded as to why he would be aggressive towards fish that aren't grazing competitors, but have no problem with the other grazer...

Hello and thanks for reading. I have a 133 gallon set up currently and want to add a couple of tangs. I read about both these fish on live aquaria and the powder blue is rated for a minimum of 125 and the Achilles is rated for a minimum of 180 gallons. The powder blue gets larger so I was...

Hello, I saw my LFS feeding lettuce for their tangs. is this ok? I know they are hervs but lettuce?

Hello folks, Looking for some advice. Recently purchased 2 tangs, a yellow and a kole. Bought them together, acclimated them together- they are besties. Problem is my fox face. Had him for several months before getting the tangs and he is easily twice their size, but he is the shyest fish I've...
