tangs

It's been a few years guys since ive been a part of this awesome community! Quite a while ago when I made this account I had started out with a 30g glass box and quickly went to a 55G and even more quickly to a 75g. That tank stuck around for some years with always wanting to go bigger in my...

So I have a flame fin tomini tang right now which is very peaceful and non-aggressive to my fish. He's been in there several months. I have a powder brown tang and a purple tang on the way. Do you think these will get along with each other? The tank is a 125 gallon, six feet long by 18 inches...

Hello everyone, I just wanted to share this simple project with the DIY people who either like to do their own builds or are on a budget. I’m going to show you a DIY grazer feeder I made for my tang and angelfish and give you instructions on how I put it all together. I was looking on Amazon...

Been in the reef tank world since 2016 started with a 35g mix reef then moved up to a 90 about a year later, I’ve had my fair share of ups and downs , crashes , reboot restart you name but hey I love it man!

I have had a tomini tang and yellow mimic tang for awhile and have been feeding them dryed nori and even my cb angel eats it. I recently set up my fuge with sea lettuce and it’s growing great! I put some on my algae clip in the display and no one will even look at it. I usually feed enough not...

I,ve had my purple tang for around 2-3 months at this point and he’s never had any markings out of the ordinary on his skin before. around a week or so ago he has shown a weird white patch in front of his rear fin on both sides of his body. no other fish are showing any discolouration or...

Hi, I bought a baby gold rush tang on Saturday, when introduced the tang decided it wanted to hide by my very territorial clownfish pair. This inevitably led to it getting a few nips and it zipping away into the rock structures. I haven't seen it come out since apart from one very brief sight a...

Hi, My freckle face tang has been acting very reserved and not eating much the last couple of days. Very different to what she’s normally like. Today, I noticed this mark on the side of her body. Can someone tell me what is it? A bite mark? Or disease? I have my suspicions that it might be...

Curiosity question here. Do the tomini and kole tangs darken in color with age or is it just random special variation? I’ve seen tominis with a pale grayish colored body and then ones almost black. A similar thing seems happens with the koles with that light orange color in the body to a deep...

I’m looking for some stocking advice as I work towards a 200g build. In my old tank things were simple- 2 clownfish, one burrowing goby, one yellow tang, etc. One fish or pair of each type. However many fish descriptions state “only 1, unless kept in a large tank.” Like gobies etc. Which begs...

Hey everyone! I got a hippo tang in qt in copper. Wondering anyone advise against that? I heard of some of these guys getting HLLE from it? It’s eating well and lot of Nori, also swimming around too. Also I plan to do freshwater and Methylene blue dips.

Good Morning. I have has this blue tang for some time, at first when he was younger I thought these marks were his nostrils but now I see them quite strange, does anyone know if this is normal? I have more tangs and this is the only one that has this kind of marks, I also have to say that...

Hi guys I currently have a 4ft 165 gallon(DT Volume) tank (4'X2.5'X2.5') and would like to purchase a convict tang. I'm not sure if I'll be overstocking my tank or if the tank is too small for an adult sized convict tang. I'd like to hear other's experiences with convict tangs and their usual...

My tangs are itching like crazy and are starting to get blotchy. I stopped feeding nori for a couple weeks to try to encourage them to eat off of the rocks however I just started them back on it a few days ago. Can anyone tell me what my problem is? My house was also just painted a few days ago...

Hello everyone! I have a juvenile Bristletooth Tomini Surgeonfish I recently acquired. He picks at hair algae on my rocks all day long and eats my Piscine Energetics mysis shrimp and San Fransisco Bay brine shrimp no problem. I tried Julian Springs red and green seaweed in a veggie clip for him...

Hey folks, 125 g dt with pair of clowns, banggai cardinal, bluestreak goby, scopas tang, and purple tang. Check out the video of my tangs breathing. Are they breathing heavy/rapid? or normal? They breath like this all the time and have since I got them (a month ago), but it just seems more...

Hi guys I currently have a 4X2.5X2.5 165 gallon (DT volume) tank and was wondering if I would be able to add another tang. Considering my tank is only 4ft long are there any tangs people could recommend? I would like to be able to keep the tang until its adult size I was going to add a yellow...

Hi guys I currently have a 160 gallon 4ft long reef tank with the stocking listed below. I would like to also purchase a yellow and tomini tang but am unsure if this would be over stocking the tank. Nitrates and phosphates dont appear to be an issue as they're both reading 0 although I do still...

I got this little guy about two months ago from a local pet shop that I won’t name. He was gasping and laying on the bottom of the tank getting ready to die. After a long ordeal of antibiotics and prazi I’m happy to say he’s now in great health! Only problem is I have no idea what kind of tang...
