Nateair Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Anybody thinking about putting a tang in a nano cube, or have put one in there? Once i put fish in i was thinking about a Goby and Clown and possible a tang if its feasable. Link to comment

Travis Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 tangs get to large and need a lot of space to swim, so they will not do well in a nano reef. if you had a 45 gallon+ sized tank, you could keep a tang. Link to comment
Nateair Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 not even a small one? I really want a tang :*( Link to comment
Travis Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 well, even if you buy a "small" one, it will get large FAST, and since they like to swim, ALOT, it will add WAY to much for the bio-load for your cube, I am sorry but it simply shouldn't/can't be done. why don't see if you can get a cherub angel, they are somewhat like tanngs and are verry beautiful IMO. They also sta SMAll, under 3" Link to comment
Nateair Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 will they eat my algae for me? I dont want emerald crabs . they eat my corals. My friend has a tang and it does quite nicely on cleaning it all up. Link to comment
Travis Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 yes, infact thats wha those Cherub Angels like to eat. Like I said, they are like tangs, only smaller Link to comment
Nateair Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 so then that settles it, but will those three get along? cherub angel percula clown goby Link to comment

RegalFlush17 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 It is stupid to put a Centropyge Angel into a nano. Not only is this way to small to accomadate a healthy dwarf angel, dwarf angels are notoriously known to nip at corals. I say that you would need at least 55 gallons to house a dwarf. I also would say that a tang needs at the very least 80 gallon long tank to it to live healthy. A Yellow tang requires the least amount of space and you could barely put it in a 80 g. The rest of the tangs need at least 150-180 gallons for them to live healthy. There are so many other fishes that you can consider for a nano. Please do not buy a dwarf or tang. Goodluck.

ccjung Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 In my personal experiences, the 2 best things i have added for algae are my snails and my lawnmower blenny.. I know hes an "ugly" guy, but an excellent algae eater, give it a few days to acclimate, and the algae will be gone.. Snails go to work ASAP.. Just my 0.02.. Link to comment
Dr. Saltwater Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 If you want to keep Tangs ... get a large tank ... Link to comment
