55g Tang Tank

[ezrk]

Any thoughts on a 55g Tang tank? Preference is for interesting and active fish.

I like the featherfin/cyp combination. Maybe a pair of less aggressive rock dwellers to go with them?

One of the brichardi complex...

You could do the "standard" non-jumbo Cyps, a sand dweller or shell dweller (multi, occie, etc.), and a laid back rock dweller (calvus, etc.).

P.S. I have a bunch of Cyp juvies for sale.

We noticed, that seems like about the baseline for a tang tank, was just wondering if there are other options worth considering.

Brichardi would just take over a 55g won't they?

They would, but it's a pretty awesome tank to see multiple generations kicking around in there. They are one of the few species in which older/prior generations of juveniles will help care for/protect new batches of fry.

Maybe 1/2 brichardi and half leleupi? Always thought that would be pretty cool.

That's kinda the point

Paracyps + shellies...
