    That is a cool Tang.

    You do realize the Tang [smiley=policeman.gif] will be forcing you to upgrade your tank soon so they can swim more. ;) Did Teresa realize what she is bringing on? ;D

    [glow=Teal, 2, 80%]Yeah, we both realize that we are going to have to get a bigger tank in the not-too-distant-future. I'm thinking we've got at least a year or so before the tangs start getting over-crowded.

    I haven't had a BIG tank in over 10yrs. What we are planning on doing is finishing out our basement, and putting a 300g tank down there. I've already drawn out the plans -- it's going to be AWESOME !!!

    I think the tangs will be more than happy in a 300g tank, don't you?? In fact, I think that I can probably introduce a Kole Tang to them at that time with no problem. What do you think??[/glow]

    300, sweet! I think everybody will be happy with that! [smiley=thumbs_up.gif]

    Get a big sump so you can snorkel in the main tank and clean the glass! ;D

    No problems with that much room to roam.  Odd numbers of tangs seem to work better unless you can introduce two tangs together as juveniles.

    :) ;) :D ;D 8)

    [glow=Maroon, 2, 80%]No. We aren't planning on moving -- at least for a long time.[/glow]
