the thing you must remember when choosing tangs is, look at the mouth and body shape, if they look similar or have same types of mouths then that means they will be competing for food, and WILL fight.
I combine totally different body shapes, and feeding types.
I have a yellow, kole, convict, and regal blue all in a 120. but they all feed in different areas of the tank and on different types of algae.

I have had very little in mytank, but I'm not sure if that is because it isn't growing, or if theDesjardini is eating it. I did have a couple of Valonia balloons a coupleof months ago, out of reach of the Desjardini even if he wanted it, so Iadded an emerald crab. I never saw the crab eat the Valonia either, but itwas gone within a week or so.By the way, I absolutely love my Zebrasoma desjardinii. I'vewanted one ever since I saw a plate sized adult at the New Jersey Aquarium.Steve Schafer________________________________________LEAVING THE LIST================To stop receiving messages you will need to send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a command to remove you from the list.
