tangs in 75 gallon..

Hey im setting up a 75 gallon tank soon and Im looking into stockign it. So far there will be:
2 oc. clowns
3 blue/green chromis
1 long finned sleeper goby


My question is what tang(s) could I add for my system? Is there any way I could add more than one? thanks. Im looking into a powder blue, yello, or a kole. thanks.

what ever tang you add will have to be very small as the pwdr bl, and yellow grow to around 10 inches a kole would probably be ok, but I'm sure someone else may, or would have a different opinion.

..... I just looked up some info in my "Marine Fishes" book by Scott W. Michael.

It says that the Yellow, and the Kole would be ok but not to have more than one in that size tank as it states that a 75 is the minimum tank size for either one.

Of that list, I think that a Kole is your best bet.

It's the only tang in my 75. Awesome fish, peaceful, active grazer, and subtly beautiful. (and too fast for pictures!)



Let's hear it for the Kole tang!!!

I think a kole, or a tomini, or chevron would be best. Also, you could do a convict tang. They are very nice looking IMHO.

I have a sailfin in my 75 gallon. I have had him for about 3 years. He does very well.

I vote for Kole tang. I have one in my 75 and he has been really cool so far. Very pretty fish.
