How many tangs?

[SIMS]

Guys how many Tanks can I keep happily in a 1500x850x700 LWH?

Provided there is sufficient live rock for them to peck on and they`re not all lineatus sp then about 4 IMO.

4? man that's sad - I have not even setup this tank and it's too small! I already have 2 and I want about 10!

 

[psycho]

I would like to have small 5 regals,

4-5.yellow tangs will look lekker!as long as theres enough LR and caves they will be fine

 

[SIMS]

why 5 of the same fish Psycho? I want a blue, naso, tomini, purple and I already got a yellow and regal.....

 

[Mekaeel]

I think it would look awesome if you have 5 of them,

I'd say it depends also on how many other fish is also in the system, as to not overload it.

That tank is huge man chuck in 10

I have 2 tangs in my 2ft. Scary... *hides from tang police*

The justification is that they are really small and I'm taking down the tank soon anyway so they won't be doing much growing.

 

[Mekaeel]

Hell 10 tangs in a tank that size will be pushing it a bit esp with a Powder blue in the mix. I would go to a max of 5, remember they are territorial.
