75 gallon update pic

In the tank:

2x false clowns
1x green chromis
1x potters angel
1x flame angel
1x 3 stripe damsel
1x yellow watchman goby
2x banggai cardinal
1x neon goby
1x mystery wrasse


I know there's a ton of fish in the tank. I'm considering a tang as my last addition. Would this be fine?

Depends on the type of tang you want. More than likely any tang you put in there is going to eventually outgrow the tank so for that you can use it as an excuse to go bigger at a later date. ;)

I'm thinking a small Black Tang. :)

The angels don't fight? Usually there's problems when there's two angels in one tank...

[Trademark]

my vote----no TANG

[TFern]

I would also hold on the tang
** nice tank **

I added them both at the same time. No fighting at all. My intentions are to try to get them to spawn and create a cross, a hybrid between the two. Here's what one would look like:

Also, my university's web server appears to be down at the moment. The pic at the top should be back up as soon as their site is fixed, heh.

Oooh, I like it. Looks exotic, that'll be a great success if you do accomplish it :thumbsup:

By the way, what's the reason for holding off on a tang? Could I add a few other green chromis instead?

[Sisterlimonpot]

The main reason for holding off on the tang is that you have some potentially large fish and adding another one in the form of a tang is pushing it for a 75 gallon. Tangs like to swim in open water.
Personally I think that you'll be fine adding a tang of the smaller variety, it'll be fine

One of my Banggai Cardinals disappeared. I replaced it with another one today.

My LFS quarantines all fish for me, so I'm lucky in that I don't have to QT on my own.

I also added a clam today. I'll try to post pics of it later.

Can you give me examples of the smaller sized tangs? I know they can all grow huge, but if it out-grows the tank, I can exchange it for a smaller

nice set up...

Thanks!

alzika, I had a Scopas Tang for a few years. Quite a nice fish, with a ton of personality, ate unwanted algae, etc. It is suited to a tank of your size. It also grew VERY slowly.

I would wait until you upgade. your tank looks good

Upgrade to what, a new tang?

I'm leaning towards that anyways. 2 pygmy angels + a tang probably wouldn't work out too well together.

I can't wait for the SPS growth!

The pic was taken with my iPhone. When I get a better camera, I'll take higher quality pics :)

A scopas tang was one I was actually considering. I love how it initially has a yellow tinge but as it grows, it gets nearly completely dark.

a tomini tang will stay fairly small as far as tangs go, and do a great job on algae..
