Michael7979 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Has anyone been out in the last few days and seen a Kole Tang at a LFS? I'm kicking around the idea of putting one in the the grow-out tank to help keep it cleaner. If so where? Size? Price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Popeil Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 they are quite a few of them to choose from. id say the size range is between 3 and 5 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgrant Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I believe Jason at Coral Reef Pet Center usually has a couple of these guys available. I got one from him about a year ago and I love. Great fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I saw all of the Koles at Waves the other day as well...They all look very healthy. If I had room, I would buy one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pledosophy Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 can someone post an image? This one is the one I got at Waves very beautiful fish....they are reef safe? Will it pick on my clowns? IME they are reef safe with every coral. Mine gets along with my clowns pretty well, it is the boss of the tank though, they all know it.

CA2OR Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 What about my anemone. When I first put a chromie in my tank he swam straight into the anemone (no more chromie) I have since bought 2 more and they seem to know what he is, but that first one was like "hey they (the clowns) can do so, so can I" needless to say he was wrong.DOH!

snowpunk Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Great fish but they need some space to swim. I would think a minimum of 55g to be happy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 ok so no go in my tank. Nice fish though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpunk Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 yea, maybe a little active for your tank. There may be a few that would be ok for your tank but they would have to be bought at a xs size. Even then they may get to big and feel stressed out. I have seen xs blue tangs in smaller tanks(as small as 15g) but if they start to grow to big, they need to be moved. My friend has a blue tang in his 29g that is doing great, but he picked it up as a nickel sized baby. it's about a 50 cent piece now and is at the limit. All of the above is of course just my opinion and not based on fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Well I was gonna ask about a yellow tang in the 36g I am going to be putting up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpunk Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I think a yellow may need more room too. Here are some just running down the list at liveaquaria.com that would need the least amount of room. (scopas tang, blue tang, tomini tang, powder brown tang, mimic tang, chevron tang) If I had a tank your size and had to have a tang, I would get one of these at a dime or nickel size. Remember that even then you will still run into issues as it grows. My friend has had his blue for a little over a year and it is getting time to make a choice for the best interests of the fish... Here are some fish types I think you should look at. 95% of the fish in these families are reef safe. Some of them will form natural bonds with inverts/anemones. In a tank that is smaller it is always fun to get those type to add something extra to the tank. Blennys, gobys, cardnals, flame or potters angel, clowns, damsels, hawk fish, dart fish, wrasse(reef safe only). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmanmike01 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I think a 36 is a bit small for any tang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 What about cardnals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
