Does your Vlamingi change colors often? How big are your unicorn and vlamingi?

Is there a order I should buy these in and has anyone put these with a puffer or triggers

unicorn,vlamingi

220 seems a little small for these two in the long run.....i helped take care of an 1100 gallon, 16 foot tank and even at that size the Vlemengi in it looked like it was still in a nervous pace all the time. Almost 20 years old though and almost 2 feet long, so it's working....but in a 220 I dunno. 1/5 the size.

I think the unicorn gets even bigger, doesn't it?

You have pics? Not to hijack but I'm curious to see the tank

I agree, my blonde naso will outgrow my 180 in a few years time.

They will probably mix fine if added simultaneously-- be sure to properly quarantine and treat, add to an established system, and if you haven't quarantined and treated properly in the past let the tank go fallow (fishless) for 76 days. Otherwise, that many tangs will grenade themselves and parasites will take over. Especially the powder.

Good luck
