Yellow tang

[fish042099]

Could I keep 3 yellow tangs together in a 100 gallon without any fighting?

G miliaris?

Most would say you should not keep one tang in a tank that size let alone 3. I will leave it at that good luck with you choice.

I wouldnt do it... tank is to small for multiple yellow tangs. I wouldnt even try it in 210g tank.

[reeferstace]

No. One tang in that size tank is pushing it.

100 gallons is big.

100 gallons is big.

If you say so. However, a 4 foot long 100 gallon tank is not big enough for 3 tangs, or a large angel -- from your other thread.

And the point of repeating yourself was?????

[OceanDweller]

100 gallon isn't a big tank. 120-150 up is medium range, 200+ up is big.

I would put a yellow tang in a 100 48" in a heartbeat but would look for a smaller one. I have seen a couple of successful "long term" attempts at YT in 75, but they really diminished the other inhabitant stocking possibilities "mostly small profile type fish".

Not trying to be offensive, but I would suggest that you utilize the search function more. Many of your questions have been answered over and over, and honestly it gets a little annoying seeing someone posting a new thread every couple of days only to ask simple questions that have been asked hundreds of times.

100 gallon to me is a small tank, and it barely gets you in the door of small-to-medium sized fish. I think it's fine for a single yellow tang, but definitely not three. Given that your tank is only 48"x18", that puts you in the category of "small tank." It has the same footprint as a standard 75g (the height of the tank does not count). Like I already posted in your other thread, what you can keep in your tank has more to do with its dimensions, rather than the total amount of water. 48" is NOT long and you shouldn't get any fish that grows over 6" as an adult.

I don't need a 200 gallon+ tank... 100 gallons is still big IMO and i don't care if thats not what some people think.

[Toddrtrex]

You SHOULD have a 200+ tank if you plan on keeping all the fish you keep asking about. Just a sampling from the last 2 weeks. But, I find it odd that you keep asking about stocking when you don't like hearing things that aren't what you were hoping to hear.

I want to keep a koles tang, hippo tang, bluespotted angel, saddleback butterflyfish, raccoon butterflyfish, and falcula butterflyfish. I am also going to get a snowflake and possibly a zebra moray, and I want 2 or 3 cleaner shrimp to clean the eels mouths. Would that be possible or would they get eaten?

Can you keep large angels and dwarf angels together?

Is the golden butterfly relatively hardy? I feed nori seaweed sheets, mysis, and clam. Its a 100 gallon with a eshopps wet dry filter and a 15 watt uv sterilizer. Would he be good in that tank? Tankmates are semi aggressive, angels,wrasse, anthias(lyre tail) ect. Would that be good?

Inches per gallon is a useless rule

Lyre tail it is. How many could I put in the tank? Btw I have bout 15 inches left of fish.

Will the following fish work together?:

Volitans lionfish
Yellow tang
V tail grouper
Banana wrasse
Pair maroon clowns in a bta
Snowflake eel
Goldentail moray

What would be a hardy moray that would be an aggressive feeder but not eat my raccoon buttrflyfish, sergeant major, possible lionfish, v tail grouper, tang,puffer, harlequin tusk, bluelined snapper, and foxface?
Some eels I was looking at are hourglass moray,yellowhead moray, andwhitemouth moray.

(p.s. All the fish above I'm not going to get together I'm going to figureout which ones I want and pick them. I already have the sergeant and butterfly.)

Then why do you even bother asking all these questions? It seems like you already have the decisions made in your head and you are only posting these threads to get "confirmations." We don't care if you buy the fish or not, that's your money and your livestocks. We just want to make suggestions, based on our experience, that will increase the likelihood of your fishkeeping. If you don't want to accept the suggestions, then honestly you don't need to post these questions. Just go buy the fish and see for yourself how it will work out.

[fish042099]

ok. well i guess this thread is done......

[aandfsoccr04]

it seems to me that you got the answers to your questions. You may not like them, but you got very good answers from people that have been keeping reefs for decades and have had very good experiences...
