white sand Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Hi guys, I'm very new in this hobby. Need to seek feedbacks on the compatibility of Naso tang and archilles tang with a community of yellow, dory,black and blue tang. What is the cost of both fish? Where is the best and most affordable place I could purchase them. Hope everyone could guide me with your immense fish keeping knowledge. Many thanks.

SRC Member cool guy Posted May 3, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted May 3, 2011 Naso tang u can always get at ah beng. For AT, can try lck as they seem to bring in more often. But u must do research more on AT as its not an easy fish to keep. Since ur tank is new, let it stable first before u purchase any more fishes... If u need help in gettin e AT, u can always cal me n i wil tag u along to get e fish... Cheers bro.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member tunicate Posted May 4, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted May 4, 2011 Bro, may I ask how big is your tank? 'cause tangs can grow quite big & need the swimming room. At full growth size, the 5 tangs alone will take up about 55" of total body length. This translates to a 7 footer tank that can barely accommodate them.

SRC Member vinccc2009 Posted May 4, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted May 4, 2011 Yes. At least a 6footer with good skimmer & good water flow for Tangs. They eat and poo like nobody business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member cool guy Posted May 4, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted May 4, 2011 His tank is 4by2by2... All his current fish is small... In my opinion it can stil hold all e 5 or 6 tang... Placement of live rock is importance. Create lots of swimming place n use minimal live rock will do... Mine is 4 by 2.5 by 2... Ive more then 20 fish inside. All r big angel n tang. So far no issue. All r fat n healthy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white sand Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 With the current fishes,that I have in my 4 by 2 by 2 community tank which is Dory-2 inches, black tang-3 inches,blue tang-4 inches and yellow tang-3 inches, is it possible for me to add 3 more yellow tangs,1 naso tang and 1 archilles tang? Will it be too congested? How will the current yellow tang react when i introduce 3 new yellow tang? Is there any way or method I could apply to prevent my current yellow tang from bullying the newly introduce fishes? Please advise.. .
