Question of the day

[sealtea116]

So would a kole tang and a powder blue tang get along in a 75g its a 4ft tank

 

[peteyboyny]

Probably not.

You never know but they aren't the same genus so technically they shouldn't but every fish has its own personality. I would say if you add the powder blue at the same time as the kole or after it'll help. To stack your odds even more don't get them the same size. I should mention that powder blue tangs should be one of your last fish added to the aquarium in general because they tend to be territorial towards a lot of new fish additions.

 

[CleanYourTank11]

Forgot to mention both attain a decent size and won't be suitable for that size aquarium at some point,just keep in mind. Good Luck

Would something get along better I really like the power blue I have 2clowns and a melnaris wrasse now

You still have a ton of options for fish. I would still add the powder blue last(if you don't already have it) I'm sure it'll make your life easier. Also not sure how old your tank is but a powder blue isn't the easiest fish to keep and should be in a mature tank... What's your planned route for the tank,REEF or FOWLR? As of what I know about your fish to best stack your odds and BE SAFE stay away from any wrasse in the "Halichoeres" genus, stay away from other clown fish and tangs in the "Acanthurus" genus. If your going reef then there are a bunch of "non reef safe" fish you'll want to stay away from.

Thanks for your help I have a mixed reef now and I upgraded to a 75 I'm still cycling the new tank while the old tank is still running just figured I can start the qt process on my next fish while I wait anther 2 to 3 weeks yea power blue is down the line any suggestions on fish and thanks for your help I appreate it I have had my 29 mixed reef for 9 months now so I'm still new to all this

And the two clowns I have are good enough no more clowns for me looking for maybe another wrasse a tang well really fish that swim and are active like the melnaris hides a lot the clowns stay on one side of my tanks so I don't have a lot of movement and now it the bigger tank I want to see fish swim so I figure tangs are active

kole tang is good for a 75 g but the blue tang is not and in that size tank i wouldn't put both of them in. I have a kole tang in my 75g and he is great...
