Another Tang??

[Tarazed]

I presently have a 220 gallon mixed reef with the following fish:

Blue Face Angel
CBB
5 Lyretail Anthias
Regal Tang
2 Engineer Gobies

I would like to add another tang. I'm considering the following:

Sohal - absolutely beautiful, but I'd probably have to move it in a year or so,extremely aggressive
Naso - I've heard they often have a lot of personality, peaceful, but will get too big?
Powder Blue - stunning, hyper, ich magnet, aggressive
Powder Brown - hyper, ich magnet, good fit aggression wise with my other fish
Achilles - expensive, hyper, very difficult to keep alive

If I got a Power or Naso I could probably also put in a bristle type tang as well. I really like the idea of the Naso, if it has a personality. I once had a butterfly fish that acted like a dog. I really miss that fish!!

Any advice??

Thanks

I would avoid the Powder Blue or Brown since they are VERY prone to Ich.

If I was to choose I would go with the Naso for sure.

get the naso!! its my favorite fish! and yea they do get big but there life span is quite long so its will take a very long time for it to grow to full size.

if possible go with a blonde naso, heck i have a yellow, purple, choc.,hippo and a yellow belly hippo with a moorish idol in my tank.

How long until the Naso out grows the 220?

if u get him at like 3-4" then u wont have to go bigger for like 2 maybe 3 years, imo, i may be wrong, its hard to ball park it. i have a hippo go from 2.5" to 4.5 in 5 months...but im sure grow slows over time.

i have both the sohal and naso and both have a lot of personality both eat right out of my hand but yeah the sohal will become very aggressive you wont be able to ad any more fish in the future another tang thats really cool and has tons of personality is the bariene i now have one for 14 months and its one of my favourite tangs

 

[Tarazed]

The Bariene gets even bigger than the Naso, but thanks for the recommendation. BTW dj ze how big has it gotten in 14 months?

 

[Tarazed]

I think I made a good call in picking up two Yellow Pyramid Butterflies, but, against my better judgement I also went for the Sohal Tang. I now have my two favorite fish a blue face and a sohal. Hope everyone behaves and how am I going to explain the upgrade to a 450 when I just got the 220 last February ;( Is 450 big enough??

 

[dj ze]

my bariene i would say only grew about an inch but my sohal grew an inch in just 2 months good luck with yours you will love him but he 'll drive you mad some days there the devil in disguise
