Ok to add tomini and yellow?

[Antec]

Will it be ok to add a tomini and a yellow tang to my 90g? In the sense of will they fight with eachother? Would I have to introduce them at the same time?

2 tangs in a 90g tank is likely to result in problems so I do not suggest it.

The tomini will be fine. I would suggest a 6' tank for a yellow tang though.

Any other ideas for some "swimmers" to go with a tomini? I already have a pair of clowns

School of anthias! And yes only get the tomini

 

[Antec]

What kind? and how many is a school?

How about a tomini and a kole?

If you do decide to add both even in a bigger tank then yes add both at the same time. They will scrap for a while but turn the lights off for several hours and then they should be OK.

Will they be fine in a 90g though? Sorry if you already answered that in your post, didn't understand the "even in a bigger tank" part

 

[crister13]

I would say yes if you have enough filtration and they like eachother.. Lol. If you don't want 2 tangs go for a dwarf angel.

I know I`ll be jumped by the Tang police but I personally think that those two will be OK in a 90. Yes a 6 ft tank will be better but that goes for all fish. I do believe that the bristle tooth species and the yellow tang are the only tangs that would do OK in that size tank.

 

[crister13]

I would just get the tomini and kole.

 

[Antec]

And just to make sure, introduce them at the same time, correct? Should I get one bigger than the other?

 

[Antec]

Am I correct with the above post??

I agree totally. Also you are more likley to have a problem with the tomini and kole together since they are the same species. Personally my choice would be the Yellow eye Kole over the Tomini much nicer IMO. The Kole is a often overlooked beauty. The yellow will be just fine.

So the two u guys are talking about is the tomini and yellow? Or the kole and yellow? If u guys the the yellow and tomini will be fine, that's what I wanna do

There are also other Tangs that are like Koles and Tominis and are okay in smaller tanks (just in case people want more than two choices). Blue Eye/ Two Spot, White Tail, etc...

Either or. IMO you will be fine with the Yellow Tang and any Tang from the Ctenochaetus species.

I just think the Kole is a nice fish then the Tomini

 

[Antec]

Yea I'm open to more, I just didn't know of any others. Any more you know of? Or a link to a page with smaller tangs?

 

[jgraz]

Ctenochaetus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

the high lighted ones are the more common ones.
These should all be good in your tank. The chevron can get very pricey though

Why dont you go with a Tomini and a foxface?
