Ming's Outdoor Tank

[ming69]

So far no signs of fighting at the moment.

Just saw the 2 yt swimming together. Maybe the tanks is big enough for the 3 of them.

Wonder wat will happen if I add a powder blue.

I place my bet on a confirm fight between the powder blue and ur 2 YTs. Powder blue are more aggressive than YT

So, it's better to leave the more aggressive ones til later, right?

How 'bout a sailfin or purple or convict? Like to have this tank as a Tang Tank leh.....

well as far as I could remember, naso, blue mimic and brittletooth tangs are all of mild characters and should be one of the first to introduced in the new tank. The blue powder tangs or rather the powder tang family should be the last to go into ur tank, due to their aggressive nature.

Maybe I listed down some of the tangs from not so aggressive nature Tangs to aggressive Tangs. Reefers out there correct me if I'm wrong, still learning here

1. mimic tang

2. bristtletooth tang

3. chevron tang

4. naso tang

5. blue tang

6. sergeant tang

7. orange shoulder tang

8. unicorn tang

9. convict tang this tangs are more on the friendly nature and please correct me if I have cateterised them wrongly, as I still trying to find out more of their nature by keeping them

10.Yellow tang

11. sailfin Tang

12. Purple Tang

12. Powder Tang family this group more of the aggressive nature

For the following tangs, anyone can group them ?

1. Black tang

2. Gem tang

3. A.T

4. hybrid tang

Hummm.... looking at it, now I seems to have post a questions here !! Sorry Ming, Me lor soh so much in ur thread

[ming69]

Not at all!! Good for me to learn too.

At least, I won't blur blur, anyhow buy.

According to your list, my next buy should be orange shoulder or convict tang.

Wonder if it's too late to add a blue tang in my cube, now that I have a sailfin & yellow tang inside.

its only a guide so no need to follow like a Doc's prescription . I also like to keep many types of Tangs, but sometimes no luck as they died shortly after Its mostly due to stress by other Tang's presence or died of hunger U might wanna wait n hear other seniors here input their views of Tang's nature/chracters

fwah....u ppl are Tang Tang Tang Tang siaos...keke..keep up the good work and pass me the knowledege...

the force is strong, learn we must....

[w3ish3ng]

if you really want a powder tang, put it in before your other tang, they die easily due to stress, if kena whack most prob will not feed and die off. they might be aggressive but the rest of the tangs (except for at) are hardy fish, so they will not die so easily due to stress.

anyway to end with the list, you will have clown and sohal tang.
