We got a brand new All About today and we're doing something new! Ever wanted a variety of tangs to choose from for your tank? I wanted to show off my top 20 picks for tangs in a saltwater aquarium. This is based on my experience the past years taking care of this species. I hope everyone enjoyed this video and don't forget to check out my all about series where we dive deep into the care guide for each individual fish.

Oooh! I would love a list for Angelfish, Butterflyfish, Damselfish/Clownfish, and wrasses too! This is good!

@Peterrdee Год назад

Butterflyfish are so underrated, I 100% think people should breed these saltwater fish like the clowns, we could have such cool hybrids and very hardy fish. A dream

@davidstewart3466 Год назад

definitely wrasses

I have 2 blue tangs . One is 12 yrs old , other one was already very big as someone donated him to the store. I paid only $25 for him in 2019. They are so cool, fun eats, like pigs. Yellow tang, I had for 6 yrs before he died... I love all tangs.. they are incredible 😍

@atmoz_ Год назад

I'm lucky enough to have some tangs myself. Just got my Naso as a very tiny one. Fortunately for me and him, the tank is big enough he can grow till his full potential. Love him because he loves swimming in front of the tank, a real threat. Also have the Yellow Belly Regal Blue Tang (he was still super small getting him didn't realize it was a yellow belly but he's great) and also got the purple tang. They all doing great together, swim often as a group around together with a Foxface. Love getting them smaller and see them grow. Next for me on the list will be a Bristletooth tang. Really love tangs.... so far they all went in peacefully...no issues as long your keeping different types.

@AB-sp5hm Год назад

Squaretail Tang is a great alternative to the Kole Tang. Squaretail is easier to get and has the yellow eyes. Main difference is the squaretail has dots throughout its body whereas the kole has dots on the face and lines on the body. Both great small tangs

@teannathomas3261 Год назад

I have a blonde naso I named Mr. T and I absolutely love him. He is shy at first but sweet and so good with new fish. He is probably my favorite next to my maroon clowns, ruby and garnet. My dream tang is for sure an Achilles I just love them! We are going to finish off with tangs after I get one and a regal blue. Unless I am able to find a Hawaiian yellow then I'll be finished with tangs lol but I do love these fish they're awesome

@BrockLeonard Год назад

Gah lee I feel like we are just alike on our fish! My maroon clowns are by far one of my favorites. I'm sure that naso is a beauty!

@teannathomas3261 Год назад

@@BrockLeonard he is a beauty. And even better than the beauty are the brains on him. But my maroons, they're my babies. I love that pair so much. They're wild caught with such deep magenta like purple red coloring. Classic white/gold stripes. They just look so beautiful with their anemone rock and cave. They have 4 bubbletips and a cave set up facing their bubbletips. Its honestly better than tv, I watch my 125 gal reef tank more than my tv haha

Hey Brock, Love the vids keep it up! I looking to add either a Orange Shoulder, Naso or Clown Tang to my 5x2.5x2 mixed reef. Which would you choose? (Current stocking: Scopas Tang, Blue Tang, clown pair, Foxface, Cleaner wrasse & 6 line wrasse, Tommini Bristletooth Tang)

@BrockLeonard Год назад

Can’t thank you enough for watching. My preference would be the clown tang. Mainly because of how peaceful they can be with tank makes. A naso will be much more aggressive toward tangs already inhabiting the tank.

@BrockLeonard Год назад

That is a perfect plan! This will also help you weed out some of those first timer mistakes too. Let me know if you ever need help along the way!

@Nexuhss Год назад

Every tang in the naso genus is awesome. I have a blonde, two vlamingii, and a brevirostris. Highly recommended if you have a large tank. They eat like pigs and are super peaceful for a tang.

@strat1960s Год назад

I enjoyed watching your video. It may have just been my luck, but I found the two clown tangs (not owned at the same time) to be very aggressive. So much so, that after bullying a naso tang to death, I moved it to the sump until I could re-home it.

@lockdown801 Год назад

I have heard of this on many occasions. Clown Tangs are the worst unless it is a very large tank. They have been known to slash other fish.

Both I think would be solid picks. I personally have a Tomini in my tank and have absolutely enjoyed em. Tough but peaceful at the same time.

@danielmoriarty692 Год назад

Thanks dude. I'll give it a try soon. I know each fish can have its own disposition and its always a bit of a gamble. But positive reinforcement is always nice.

@DesertRider760 Год назад

Have a gem tang! I could never ever ever keep a clown tang alive. Never could get them to eat. I know it's hard to include all tangs, but you missed my favorite! The chocolate tang. Yellow/Brown/Orange, it's got colors to hard to pass up. As adults, they have these beautiful streamers that you typically see on angels. They're not too common at the LFS, but pretty good priced
