fish stocking ideas for 75g tank

[Dave1993]

also for a tang i wanted a (i want them all lol) but the acanthurus coerulus i think is how you spell it but i read that they can get to 15 inches but then a different site said 8... anybody know the real size?

they get pretty big

 

[Dave1993]

if you want a nice tang and willing to splash the cash look into the black tang it's my dream fish i would be very jelly if you got 1 of them

I tend to err on the side of caution giving advice just because if things blow up because you took on something very challenging still being new I don't want you to get discouraged and leave the hobby. I'm pretty conservative when it comes to stocking choices especially the first couple years in the hobby

i dont think that will ever happen. my passion for this is so strong its crazy

 

[Reeflix]

[Dave1993]

Any acanthurus tang will be same thing as a powder blue. Bad idea in that tank size. At that size the happiest tangs will be any Ctenochaetus tang that isn't a chevron. You could also MAYBE get away with a yellow tang or purple tang, but that's pushing it and has the option for aggression especially at that tank size

Well I think you could get one yellow or purple tang but no more after that, you need a 6ft tank to have more than one.

black tang?

 

[Reeflix]

[Reeflix]

black tang?

if you are willing to splash the cash go for it they are expensive

And they would be similar in level of worry as a yellow or purple. They're also dummy expensive these days so make sure it's what you want.

 

[Reeflix]

they are my 2nd fav tang

 

[Reeflix]

my fav is the gem tang but i think those are more expensive

If you’re going to get that fish might as well get a bigger tank and better equipment instead because the run like 2 grand on live aquaria.

no gems r cheap compared to blacks

Your best option imo if you have 1500 bucks lying around for a black tang is to buy a used 180 so you can keep the Atlantic blue you wanted lol
