Post by sweetie_22 »

A yellow tang in a 100 gallon tank should work out fine.

You already have maroons, right? Adding another pair of clowns might not be the best idea for a tank that size.

would the tang be compatible with my existing tang

i only have a single maroon, it's about 3-4 inches
and my clownfish are pretty small, one's 1.5 inches and the other's 1 inch

Girl, take it from me, I've been there.

My female clown went after my maroon and I couldn't get her out in time - it was this crazy, intense attack, really awful to see.

The tang should be okay with yours though.

I figured the maroon being there first and bigger would give it an upper hand, but that didn't seem to be the case with your female clown, huh seffie

I'm still a bit shaken from last night, we had a power outage and I thought we were in for a long night, some vandals had set fire to the main transformer in our town, leaving 2,500 homes without electricity, luckily the crew managed to bypass the damaged section and we were back online within 30 minutes.

Oh my gosh, that's so true, it could've been so much worse if it happened while you were sleeping, no one would've even known about it.
