Hardiest Tang?
 

In your experience, which is the hardiest tang to add into the home aquarium? Thanks.

Just my opinion but I have never had any problems with sailfin tangs I have added to set-ups.

Cool.. I love the Sailfin's.. thanks for your input.

I'd have to say it's the Yellow... everyone has one.
Most Non-Hardy=Regal/Hippo!

Yellow, eh... but how do we assume they are the most hardy because everyone has one?

When I say "hardy" I mean... less prone to ick or parasites, isn't skittish and gets along with tank mates, eats well, etc..

A Sailfin would not be an appropriate choice for your planned 50g cube, IMO. You'd need at least 135g, IMO.

Cheers:smile:,

I never said I was going for 50g . I said somewhere from 50-60 (and still havent decided on anything yet) And again, I never said I am adding any of these tangs to my tank.

I'm just curious what the general consensus is on the hardiest tang.

It really depends on the length of your tank OCDP.

Which tangs are you considering at this time?

Thank you

I love my Scopas! :biggrin:

And yet again, I never said I am adding any of these tangs to my tank.

I am simply asking what (in your experience) is the hardiest tang. I am not considering any one specific tang at the moment. I don't even know if I will add a tang to my new setup. This is not what the thread is about . I am just trying to get information on the hardiest tang, so that IF my system is big enough and IF I decide to put a tang in my new setup.. I'll know which one to look out for.

This can be a good discussion for everyone on their experience with tangs , and which they find most suitable in captivity.
