powder blue tang and coral beauty

serotonin · 07-18-2006, 12:32 PM

Tank inhabitants currently:

2 percula
1 coral beauty
I'd like to add 1 or more of another type of reef safe fishes (ideas please? I just can't decide)

finally.....last fish......
I'm trying to plan the rest of the fishes I'd like to put in my DT. I like the idea of a powder blue tang but im not sure how well it would play with the coral beauty. I also do not have an apropriate sized QT for it to stay in for a month, so I'm thinking no but I really do like the idea of having one. Has anyone kept these to fishes togather? What was/is your result?

Thanks !

I think it would be a good fit.

I've never had a BPT and a Coral Beauty. but they should get along well.

I agree on it being a good fit. They may square off for a few minutes but after a while they will pretty much ignore each other and only flare up when trying to gain better feeding positions.

I'd say stay away from the powder blue. They are probably the most known tang to be super sensitive in captive systems. Make sure this tang has LOTS of room and hiding places. Oh yes, be prepared because that guy WILL get ich.

That does have me on the titer/totter of choosing a power blue.
