CCR Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 What size tank would help!!!! OK OK Missed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefgeek84 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I hope the blue tangs are small...I am not one to be a tang police person...but that is the same size as my tank and having 3-4 tangs in that tank is alot... Chevrons supposedly turn a brown color in adult hood. A clown tang will get big...I think 1 or 2 tangs is plenty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcsdlszr Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Gotta watch those clown tangs, they turn into mean little........(you know what I mean). Had one that would bite me everytime I'd have my hand in then tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael7979 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 120g tank with 5 tangs!! I think that's pushing it quite abit. A 6 foot tank would give you a better chance, I think. But still........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powdertang05 Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 well the blue tansg are .5 to 1 and the salfin is 2 inches so was thinking a powdertang like 2 inches to 3 that doesnt seem to be a problem to me. also yes i do have a killer skimmer on the way skims up to 500 gals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCR Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Ahhhhh they do grow. What skimmer, don't tell me the double PCR 5000!!! I'll have to hurt ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecheese Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I know they look tiny now and that 3 0r 5 of them does not seem to make quite a difference but they will get big. So unless you are planning to part with them when they get "big" I would agree with others, you are good with those 3 you have. Otherwise I would go for a yellow tang (to complement the spectrum of colors you have, but not for its potentially agressive temper!)(enforcer) Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I have to go with the concensus, that is too many tangs for that size tank. I have a 90 gallon with a small tang in it, and I think I am pushing it, but my tank will be shut down in about 18 months so that I can move back to oregon. I have a friend here who tried 5 yellows in a 180 with a few other fish and it was a disaster. JMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgf86123 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Mod's, can we close this thread please? It's going on 4 years old, an the OP hasn't posted since October of '07, so I think it's time this one is closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 To all of those still voting in this poll, the OP hasn't been on the site since 2007, this thread hasn't been posted in since 2007, the OP obviously doesn't care what anyone has to say about his fish selection at this point, so why keep voting? It's pointless an this thread needs to be closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
