Best tank for tangs???

littlefoxx · Apr 7, 2023

Hey all upgrading my 70 gallon. My main focus of the bigger tank was to put 3 tangs and a niger trigger in there. I have the option between a 125 gallon six foot tank or a 160 5 foot tank. Any tang peeps out there who can tell which is more ideal for a tang??

8ft tank is best as you can add more tangs.

What tangs? I have three in a five foot 110 and 5 in a 7’ 210. The 6’ is better for room to cruise, but the 160 gives more water volume for water stability.
Is the 160 wider front to back or just taller?
If just taller the 125 may be best. If wider and taller, if you design your rock work to allow room behind so they can do circles it would be ok as well.
