Sohal - Purple - Blue Tang?

[kalymnos1971]

I have a 150 gal tank. I was interested if I would be able to place all 3 tangs together? Years ago I had a powder blue, regal, and a purple tang and they were fine.

IMO, this tank is too small for all three of these. I would forget the sohal...to big and too mean.

Well a Sohal will get REALLY mean in a small tank like a 150 and it is mean anyway. Will almost certainly kill at the least, the other two.

No Sohal... you will be much happier.

The purple should do great and, even the regal will do well!

add the blue first then the purple. skip the sohal they get real big and mean

[kalymnos1971]

Thanks.... I will skip the sohal, although they are a really good looking fish.

I agree the sohal is a beauty and i want one but my biggest tank is 7x2x2 and i still think the sohal would be cramped in it
bad attitude + cramped spaces = really bad attitude

Amen to that!

If no sohal ... better choice... purple and regal can be cramped together.... Sohal will be nuts in a 150 G in less than 6 months.. (small to LG size) ...
