Planning to keep this 2 Tangs

[qwertman321]

i m planning to keep a Clown tang and a Bristle tooth tomini tang , is it possible?

take it as they are about the same size and i introduce them together.

tank size? anything less than 3ft is a no in my opinion. i feel tangs should be kept in 3ft set ups or larger. anything below will be inhumane. clown tangs are very difficult to get feeding, and if u manage to keep one alive, you may regret your decision since they are very aggressive.

errr ok thanks for the advise in clown tang. my tank is 2 ' x 1.5 x 1.5 , so i could not keep any tang? i have see irwana keep a AT in a 2 feet cube

Any Red Red color fish too reconment too??

dont keep tangs in a tank that size. too small. .

perhaps some flame cardinalfishes? or firefish? flame hawk? these fishes do not need so much space compared to tangs. maybe a very small flame angelfish.. but 2ft hmm...

will be a stretch for the angel but its possible. not as terrible as a tang! haha

U can even keep an at in a 1cube tank but its not healthy

If u getting flame hog, do introduce last as it can be aggressive also. Anyway, there is always exception and miracle. Personally, I think no problem in keeping tangs as long as u get a small one and feed it "just nice" and yr tang should not overgrown too fast. As mentioned, clown tang is hard to get it feeding, small one might be even harder. Personally experience is getting big fish in yr tank may stress and keep those small, timid and shy fishes stress and die. . Knowledge gathered from material may not be 100 % true, good to gather and learn from those experienced reefers, there are reefers who don't follow the norm but were successful. All the best.

fully agree with bro solo. i think solo is one of those reefers who manage to pull of this amazing feat! impressed by the fishes he keep.

91 litres, i still wont reccomend a clown tang for a tank your size. if u really want a tang,get those 1 inch size blue tangs? they grow fast but u can remove and sell once they get bigger....

Im not getting any tang for my tank already, maybe would keep a copperband butterfly but are they 100% reefsafe?

80-20. not safe with feather worms and anemones. may peck on corals but low chances, although very unlikely. their mouth not built for pecking on corals. but they do peck on clams sometimes.

unless u get one that is feeding, dont keep in 2ft. not enuf liverock for them to pick on.
