U Pick my Next Tang

[Aquarius]

I have a 70 gallon f/o with a picasso trigger (small) an orangeshoulder tang, and a coral beauty. I would like to add another tang but I don't know which one. Any ideas? Hippo, naso, atlantic blue, ....? What does everyone have for suggestions?

Orange-shoulder{Acanthurus olivaceous} tangs get VERY large, eventually too large for a 70 gallon system.I could NOT recommend another surgeonfish for your system.My suggestion is to trade him for a yellow {zebrasoma}tang, before he reaches 6" in length.

Time to go shopping for that 6' long tank ;)

nasos get too big i think...

i really love my little purple tang...hes a great fish that seems to really "live in" the tank rather that just always swim around looking to get out...if you know what i mean

I'd agree with those above and say you'll want either a tank size upgrade or a tang-size downgrade. You're not going to want to just add another tang here.
