TTM and Tangs

ibrat82 · 01/30/2018, 05:59 PM

Hi

So I want to put multiple tangs in my aquarium and I read that adding them all at once is the best chance for success.

I want to add 3 maybe 4 tangs but I also want to do ttm as all fish I have put Through ttm have been healthy and still alive. I don’t have a qt tank. I do ttm with prazi and after the last transfer keep them in that tank for a week to make sure no other issues and then straight to dt.

How can one do ttm on multiple tangs so that they can be introduced the same time into my dt?

Can I use a 20 gallon for multiple juvenile tangs?

Give plenty of PVC hiding places. Also, test for ammonia and keep Prime on hand.

Agree with the above. Had a yellow and a kole in ttm with no issues. Watch the ammonia as mentioned.

Just my opinion, but I would be very cautious of doing 4 tangs in a 20 gallon. Just be prepared to rehome or rearrange some things.
