Hozer21 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Ok so my (wife) and I have been thinking about getting rid of our three Tangs that we have now (purple,Tomini & Hippo) and looking for a couple more new tangs to put in my tank and she said that it doesn't matter as long as they have color and look (in her words) pretty. So I thought I would as you guys what your thoughts where in this matter ?? and here is a list I got off line Eibli Mimic Tang Spot Face Surgeonfish Vlamingii Tang Mustard Surgeonfish Thompson’s Surgeonfish & here is where I got the list from http://www.suite101.com/content/best-tangs-for-the-tropical-saltwater-aquarium-a149979 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef165 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Surgeonfish usualy like eating your rock and dont care to much whats in there way so they may be a bad idea, but most tangs are safe, just gotta make sure your tank is big enouph for one, two, or more otherwise the tang police will arrest you.

Hozer21 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Yeah I know but I think we would like to only have 2 tangs just trying to figure out which 2 to get(laugh)(laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 The Tomini and the Blue will be the easiest to work with. Most tangs/rabbits will get big so you will be back in the same boat at sometime. But go with the Tomini and Mimic, my $.02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerv503 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Definitely keep the purple tang, they're very hardy fish and will not die easy! All the other tangs on the list are fine to. Vin "Keep On Reefing" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finch6013 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 you might check out a yellow eyed kole tang. One of my favorites and they are very easy to keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cschwarz Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 +1 on the yellow eyed kole tank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talkalot82 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 yep I love my yellowed eyed kole as well. I love the mimic but dont have a large enough tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpunk Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Also there is the chevron tang. They are in effect the same thing as a kole but really pretty. I love my kole tang though. Look up vampire tang. They are also a favorite of mine. Something you don't see everyday and look great under the lights. I'll be putting one in my new tank if it ever goes up.
