Setting up a new 125 gal and tang ?

Noc · 05-09-2008, 03:29 PM

I'm setting up a new 125 gal tank and will be transferring my 3" powder brown tang and my 4" naso tang I'd like to get an achilles tang but will it and the power brown fight. None of the tangs are in the new tank yet and I was reading that IF I were to do this I'd have to introduce them into the new tank at the same time.

This does not guarantee success but has anyone had any luck with both of these tangs together. I found a very short thread where people put one in long after the other already established themselves and they fought. Then someone added they had both in the same tank and had no problem but didn't give any detail.

Should I chance it. The tank we have these three tangs as large fish and maybe five or so other small fish such as clowns, royal grandma, couple of blemies and maybe a mandarin down the road. The other livestock will be coral.

I'm thinking that chances are they will fight,.. It's one of those tossup type deals,.. it might work it might not but I personally wouldn't try it.

Thats going to be tough on the naso also. Not much room for it with two other tangs in a 125.
