What type of tangs can I fit in a 72 gallon bow tank.

Hey all,

I just wanted to know what all of your recommendations would be to add a certain amount (if any) or at least one tang to a 72 gallon bow.

What certain tangs would do in this tank.

Thank you

 

Maybe a sailfin if your tank is 48" long, if not no tangs would be advisable.

 

What about a yellow tang. From what I've seen here it should fit the size of my tang.

 

whats your tanks dimensions?

 

I've had a yellow tang in my 55 for more than a year now. A friend gave me his fox face about september of last year. They've become swimming buddies and are always within 6 inches of each other.

 

I believe these are it

dimensions:

Aquarium: 48.5"L x 18"W x 23"H
Stand: 49"L x 19"W x 32"H

 

kole tang
tomini tang
yellow tang would work

good luck

 

Thanks

 

Anything from the Ctenochaetus genus, and a few from Zebrasoma will do well.

 

A sailfin is probably the worst choice in tangs for a tank this size. They get about a foot long, if not longer.

As far as tangs, I would maybe recommend only a couple of the ctenochaetus tangs (bristletooth) in a 72.

tomini, kole, indian yellow spotted tang. Those 3 will only get to 5-6" tops, while many other ctenochaetus will get much bigger. I would wait until the tank is at least 6 months before getting one of these though.
