What are the odds of successfully adding a Tang to my tank which currently has a 6" Foxface, 5" WT Bristletooth and 4" Yellow? I have 7" PBT who currently is the only fish in a 55 gal. and I'd like to give him more room. My other option is a baby tank raised Hippo tang. In the prior case I fear for the current tank inhabitants and in the latter I wonder if the baby would be small and timid enough to be ignored?That could work, it’s a lot of tangs but I can hardly say anything as I do that. I wouldn’t buy them too small as they’re not as hardy. I’d say 2.5-3.5 inch zebrasoma is ideal. To be honest though if added together the size may not be that important. Definitely add the PBT last. Hippo can be small - 2-3 inches or so if hardy and be OK. The tomini may not appreciate another tang addition but on the other hand it may not care much especially if added to a new tank almost immediately. Smaller hippo can hide and wait it out pretty well unlike other tangs which gives them so leeway.
I'm guessing that's supposed to be some kind of joke? Unfortunately neither helpful nor amusing.is 2 tangs per us&a gallon ok?
Honestly, that’s not a good idea to go off of.How many tangs per gallon of water would you recommend?
That's kind of a deep idea to think about embeddedin a joke...Honestly, that’s not a good idea to go off of.
Tangs per gallon doesn’t give the room they need to swim. That’s like saying ‘25G per one tang’ that would make someone assume in a 25G tank they could have 1 tang. When it comes to the Acanthurids and any fish at that matter, you don’t go for the Fish per Gallon unlike freshwater and instead you go for how much length and territory you can give each fish.
I’ve come from Fresh Water (my last FW tank was broken down 3 years ago now, my first saltwater tank was done 10-12 years ago). My biggest issue in the transition was noticing how aggressive saltwater fish tend to be compared to FW fish.That's kind of a deep idea to think about embeddedin a joke...
It may not turn out well. As you can see in pics, I had two sailfin tangs and for 4 months thought- Lucky me and then the war began.I inherited 2 Blue Hippo Tangs in my current tank. They get along fine and swim/hang together most of the time.
Is this going to be an issue long term though - i have been told that you cant keep 2 of the same type together?
Hippo tangs aren’t typically too aggressive towards conspecifics. But with any fish - results may vary!It may not turn out well. As you can see in pics, I had two sailfin tangs and for 4 months thought- Lucky me and then the war began.
Tangs and SOME tangs best grouped in odd numbers. . 1-3-5 and so forth
I have 6 yellows for 5 + years and simply got lucky
true as ive seen them at LFS together. Just considering long termHippo tangs aren’t typically too aggressive towards conspecifics. But with any fish - results may vary!
