which tang would you buy?

a Wu Tang! jkin,

I would have to say yellow, extremely hardy, and although common, adds a nice bright yellow to your tank, I would introduce it with another tang as well. I currently have a yellow and a hippo together and they do great. I think Nasos are awesome as well.

 

This question is for RedGambit; I will be stocking my 90g. for the first time sometime in January and planned to add a Yellow and Kole Tang as two of my first fish. Whats the rational to waiting 6 months before adding tangs to the tank?

Any Bristletooth besides the straiatus would be a good idea, although a kole tang can be almost as mean as a striated.

 

I am not redgambit, but I would wait 6 months before adding a kole, or any bristletooth tang as they require a dirtier tank than a very sterile new tank. Yellow tangs are not as picky about what they eat. Also most other tangs are not as picky as B tooth tangs.

 

my favorite are all of the acanthurus, if you plan to have only 1 tang i would wait and get one if you can care for it. Maybe try one of the hardier ones when your tank matures a little. All the tangs mentioned are nice tho! If you plan to have 2 i would probably add them together. From my experience it has worked very well. I added a Powder blue and a Hippo to my 100g (upgrading to 200g) and they are buds. No aggression at all though they are still small (3.5").

 

clown tangs are cool especially the ones from the red sea and indian ocean.
purple tangs are great too and easy to care for
what is wrong with your powder blue? I love those fish

 

ehem...he died.:-/

 

...he died and you're ready for something else? or you feel they aren't as hardy?

I have a purple tang, she's a real *****, but she is healthy, and beautiful

 

Yea I'm looking for another one but not for a short term thing.. I want to know what I will buy long before I buy it so that I know what to do to prevent any future troubles.. Il buy the tang probably on January or february.. But I'll do my research first.
