Those keeping AT , how big is your tank?

[weileong]

Like to find out what's the success rate

[alanseah]

me me.. 5ft.. lolz..

[Reefaholic]

The bigger the tank, the higher the success rate.

[weileong]

Bigger tank usually have higher turn over and that is very critical to the success of fishes like AT.

[iori_del]

Mine is 4 x 2 x 2.5 only.

is it too small???

[ReDDeviLs]

4x2.5x2.5

[timzhiquan]

my tank is a 4x2x2. seems like one of the smallest arnd. AT is nearing 3 mths old. so it would eventually outgrow the tank? its abt 3.5 inch now.

[acidjazz]

Planning to add an AT into a 3.5x2.5x2.5 ft fowlr tank.

[weileong]

How long would you deem successful??

[acidjazz]

This senior reefer once told me.

If u want to keep an AT, start with keeping YT, PT, BT first.

If these 3 survives, keep powder blue/black/brown tangs.

If the powder tang survives, then maybe can try AT.

Have you tried that?

[acidjazz]

Have you tried that?

I am still at the first stage.

If the YT, BT and other tangs survives pass another 3 months, i will move to 2nd stage and then finally the AT.

[weileong]

then by then how many tangs will u have??

By then the AT go in still dunno what's going on already kanna wack up down left right by all the powder tangs

[acidjazz]

then by then how many tangs will u have??

If phase 1 succeeds, i will remove the YT, BT and other tangs b4 moving on to phase 2.

Eventually left maybe just 1 powder blue tang, 1 powder black tang, 1 red sea salfin tang and 1 AT.

[iori_del]

for me, i add the power blue, power black and AT in one sho.

i really think 4 ft is the min tank, they are really strong swimmer...

[keithtty]

Will a AT survive in a 3ft? Wife loves it, but doubtful it can survive in a small tank. If can find a small one, can?

in a 3ft tank...

wow then it sound to me like keeping a family of 4 in a bedroom size house where their kitchen, living room, toilet are there...

[acidjazz]

A 3.5x2.5x2.5 ft tank has a water volume higher than that of a 4x2x2 ft tank.

[weileong]

A 3.5x2.5x2.5 ft tank has a water volume higher than that of a 4x2x2 ft tank.

Nothing to do with water volume (up to certain extend).

You can 2ft x 2ft x 20ft (h) and see if you can keep the AT alive or not.

They need the space to swim.

[alanseah]

ya i can have 20ft length and 4" wide and 2ft tall..... lolz...

[keithtanbb]

I have 2 purple tang, 1 yellow ,1 adult hippo blue, 6 juvenile, 1 sohal, they seem to like sera marin granules.....(( think best advice I can give , is observe the fish and its appetite 1st, if you can....)

By the time you wait for those AT to start eating (99.99999999999999% of them won't) in LFS, they are all sold or died already.

Unless you buy from CF or some other LFS that can make them eat.

AT

[weileong]

AT

Wow long time no see lei AT bro

[kelstorm]

Eventually left maybe just 1 powder blue tang, 1 powder black tang, 1 red sea salfin tang and 1 AT.

sounds like Fish War III to me..

it is too small and u might have a huge fight

This remind me of the sad sight i saw at R*b**n where more than 20 PBT are left in the centre tank with MH...

anybody knows how much are PBT these days???
