do naso tangs eat hair algae?

skunkmere · 04/12/2008, 01:28 PM

im trying to decide between three fish,

a spotted bristle tooth tang
a small naso tang
and a hippo tang.

i wanted a tang for algae control and to have a tang.
Thans guys

i think it would only be a matter of time before a small naso would outgrow your 90g tank. size wise, i think a kole would be a better choice. besides, i just think koles are kool. regals just don't do much for me.

as far as hair algae goes, astrea snails might help.
