Fish addition order

Toledofishguy · 03/15/2007, 01:52 PM

I have given up on my sailfin tang urge since I only have a 120.

Now am looking at yellow eye kole tang. I also want to add a foxface lo or fiji foxface later in the year. From what I read it doesnt seem like this particular tang is that aggressive. Does it matter which order I add them. I'd like to snag the tang first.

I'd probably add the Tang first.
I had a yellow eyed and he was farily passive... not your typical tang.
Becareful with the Foxfaces they have been known to nip on corals.

I had a foxface for 2 yrs, great fish, but it passed a few weeks after my move from Toledo to C-bus.

we have two foxfaces and the only thing they nip on is the algae on the snails

Why have you given up on a sailfin???

As long as you find a small one you should be fine. I have a Sailfin and a tominii in a 90 gal and they have gotten along fine for almost a year now.

Is that a boxer in your avatar, cl2ysta1? We had one when I was growing up. She had to be put to sleep before I left for college.

As soon as we get some more time, and I put in a fence, we're gonna get a puppy

Sorry to hijack.
