Adding New Tangs

[islandreef]

Ok need your assistance, want to add 2-3 more tangs to my 135. Currently there is a Sailfin tang in there, I had one other tang that just disappeared on me one day, I saw him eating fine and swimming around with no issue and then a day later I couldnt find him, found his body about 3-4 days later. At least the clean up crew did their job. Anyway, I have not lost any more fish since then and its been about 4 months since then. I am thinking of a Naso, Clown and Toniniensis Tang. I am thinking the aggression towards each will be minimal since theirs 3 of them. What are your thoughts on this? I know I cant just add one.

I think those tangs will quickly out grow that tank. May be fine for a while but as the grow you will have problems.

What are the dimmensions of your tank? Naso and clown tangs will get pretty big and will become more aggressive over. I would say the toniniensis might work, but because of the similar body shape as the sailfin, there may be some aggresion.

It really depends on what you like. You are never going to get a consensus on tangs, but personally, I like Yellow Tangs, Hippo Tangs, Powder Blues, Powder Browns, Kole Tangs, Whitecheek Tangs, and Lieutenant Tangs. I think any of those would probably be ok in your tank.

If you're going to do tangs. Then get ones that do things yellow tang = hair algae destroyer. naso tang = valona killer. yellow eye kole tang = eats everything else that grows
