Which Tang? and why?

I like my hippo tang the best. He is peacefull with corals and fish. He has a great personality. Hides between rocks when scared but you can always see his eye looking at you to see whats going on. Eats like a pig. He has little black dots throughout his head and great colors. This is one of my favorite fish. I also have a yellow tang which is ok but not as interesting as my hippo tang.

 

As for my choice of Tangs... Look in to a Powder Brown or White Cheek.... I miss my Buckietang!

 

I have had a yellow tang that was extreamly aggressive as well mine ended up dieing from fighting with a blue tang.

 

i have three hippo tangs and a large naso and a large sailfin tang i like all of them lol yellow tangs are pretty but can be a bit aggresive same as my sailfin he is a bit aggressive sometimes, but my 3 hippo tangs are small 2 are 1.5 inches the last is about 2.5 they school in my tank its pretty cool to watch them swim together.

 

Get a bigger tank

 

i was thinking of getting rid of my reef and going with only FW!! Forget a bigger reef! I deal with enough SW to get my fix at work and do not need anymore when i get home from the shop hahah!

 

I have a Naso, Hippo and Blue Tang in the same tank and if I had my choice I would get rid of the Blue Tang as it is aggressive. The Blonde Naso is the best fish I have ever owned.

 

yea i always think that every once in a while. but then i cant part with all my corals and forget about it. the key to this hobby is not overloading yourself. those tanks a RC totm are killer but i couldn't do that. theres just to much riding on it, atleast over 10 grand in some tanks. the best advice i can give you is don't sacrifice you relationship with your fish and coral for your dream of a great display tank, some people can do it but it never worked for me.

 

who said i am overloaded? i have just been enjpying my FW tank more than my reef... To be honest the FW tank is more work! I just deal with corals at my job day in and day out. When i get home the last thing i wanna do is deal with more corals hahah! i like my plants and porkchops!



Now that is a real tank hahah!!

 

i wasn't implying you were overloading yourself i was just giving advise. but now after this post i am imply your job is overloading you with corals;D
