So I have a 6 foot 125g tank. I currently have a yellow tang and was looking to add another Tang but am unsure of which one.
I understand that a blue tang requires a 180g tank normally, but does that apply since I have a 6 foot tank? The only difference is 6 inches front to back and an inch or two in depth. Will it really matter as long as he has the swim room? I don't want to break any rules but in this case it seems it would be ok.
Any thoughts people? I would appreciate any input as I am hoping to start stocking again soon, or at least give me some ideas.....
I had a Kole tang which I did like, and a blue caribbean one, but I fear if I put them in the yellow tang I have will be too bossy as they are similar in body shapes. I had some aggression when I had the kole and blue in the tank last time, nothing serious, but I don't want any issues this time around. lol
Thanks everyone!
