All about Tangs

[Bojangles]

Anyone around have a tang tank, FOWLR with 3 or more tangs in it or suggestions on what species to stock it with I would love to hear about it. I currently have a 200g that needs stocking and tangs are starting to grow on me.

Thanks

Anything about tangs would be helpful. Things you can keep with them or things you CANT would be cool too. I'm really diggin on the Purple tang but I hear he's aggressive like no other. Anyone out there have a Powder blue tang or a Lipstick tang?

Yeah...um...nevermind about the lipstick I found a link that has deterred me LOL

There my favorite, I like them all, they are great for a reef tank, give them lots of flow as they like that, purple and powder blue are IMO the most beautiful, but demand exelent water quality. I have 3 and they do challenge each other, but no harm to any fish is going on, its also good to give them lots of hidding places.

I have a 12"+ streamer Naso in my 225G. He has 2 other tankmates-a blue hippo 6" and a queen Angel 4".
They're beautiful, peaceful fish.

Ever have any problems with their tail? I've heard my share of horror stories

No problems so far-

Don`t discount the Naso offhand.I have one in my tank and he`s got a lot of personality.Eats out of my hand literally.

I made a trip to the LFS today. I always thought these guys weren't half bad but today he told me that I could put all tangs together in my tank and none would fight. He went further to tell me that they all school and I should keep them in groups except for the powder blue. I was ummm ok...thanks bye

I guess I'd just be worried that I'd have alot of cool fish and one day the naso got spooked and shredded one.
