Hippo or Kole

Hippo Tang or Yellow Eyed Kole Tang. I've always wanted a Hippo Tang, but I only have a 90 meaning it would one day outgrow it, the drawback to that option. The other option is a Yellow Eyed Kole Tang which I also like, maybe not quite as much, but it won't out grow the tank. Opinions anyone?

 

you will be able to keep either/or for many, many, many years

 

I have a yellow eyed Kole.. I haven't seen many people with him and he's definitely a character.. kind of skiddish and enjoys his hiding spots, but definitely a very cool fish.. here's some pics!

 

i like them both. with the hippo i would also get some neon gobies at the same time there good to keep anyway just incase of ick i dont have a hippo but my neons are always cleaning my tangs the tangs love it

 

I'm thinking Kole. Are Neon Gobies more effective than skunk shrimp?

 

there always cleaning one of them once i have seen a couple of them lined up

 

I'm now sure im getting a Kole and im going to the LFS to look for one tomorrow. The deal breaker was that my tank is will be fully stocked after the addition of this Tang and a pair of ocellaris that are coming soon to meaning no neon Gobies. What do Koles usually go for?

 

I saw one for $35.00 last weekend.

 

Are Koles generally hard to get onto prepared food?
