which tang?

[Snelly40]

hey guys, with my new upgrade i am thinking about adding another tang.
obv any zebrasomas are out b/c of my yellow tang, but i have narrowed it down to 2/3 of them and was hoping for ur pics and input so i can finally decide.
I am looking at either a Kole Tang, or a Naso Tang.
naso? blond or regular? and whats really the difference?

thanks guys!!!!

An option to the kole is a tomini bristletooth tang. Same family as the kole and equal in size also.

Here's a pic of mine.

I would vote kole tang... They are great pickers and awesome fish!

he's reaally cool looking too.
i think i am leaning towards the Kole instead of the Naso.
also, if i order two bluethroat triggers (1 male/1female) do they match up easily? or could that be a bad idea?

I love the tominis but they are hard to find. Another great one that is also a bit tough is the Chevron. Gorgeous colors particularly as a juvinile. I love mine. He is quite a character with his big mouth.

What size tank? if you dont have a 6ft long tank I would not recommend another tang. If you insist then I would do the kole or tomini. Naso get big fast and need a lot of room.

yellow eye kole hands down!!

yeah, thas what i'm leaning towards.

A kole is pretty nice; although if you don't mind housing a fish that gets big fast, naso tangs are great to have also; especially b/c of how beautiful they are.

Naso's get pretty big...I wouldn't recommend one in anything smaller than a 180...

I like the yellow eye koles also. I hope you have a large tanks so they have plenty of room.

90 Gallon tank, should be plenty of roaming room for the two tangs.

how big do blue throat triggers get? and would he be a good addition as well.

Have you thought a powder blue tang . I am in the process of adding a powder blue and a tomini.

Check out this Thread. Maybe this will help.

im scared of a powder blue, yes they are beautiful, but they get BIIIIG and they can be mean and they can be quite succeptable to ich
