What kind Tang's could I put in my 30 gallon.

[The Wedge]

Right now I have 6 (I believe) male N. Multi's...I was thinking of trading them in for some other type of Tang. I really do not want shellies I think. Oh yeah, I have a S. Eruptus as well. What are some nice Tang's that I can put in a 30 gallon. Maybe assorted...maybe species.

[The Wedge]

any ideas...they can be shell spawners...I just want something a little bigger.

The best one to ask about this subject would be sailor as he is the main Tanganyikan keeper around here.

Thanks for the reply...I'll go on the hunt for my seaward friend thumbs2: I hope he is not lost at Sea...or shipwrecked:thumb:

He's retired. LOL

You could go with [Only Registered Users Can See Links.] a 30 gal. They grow very very slow but would be a good fit for that size tank.

You could also go with [Only Registered Users Can See Links.], there are some very nice looking fish in this family, most only grow to 3 inches.

I can't find comps or julidochromis...but I can find red/orange Lelupi, Black Calvus (pearl, and yellow as well], and Brichardi. I am sort of attracted to all three of those. The Lelupi are an awesome color...would any of these be okay in a 30? How many?

You could keep one of each, possibly a pair of calvus. Brichardi and leleupi are nasty buggers when they spawn, and spawning brichardi will quickly overcrowd the tank.
A less commonly seen species is Variabilichromis moori, a smaller species similar to brichardi when spawning. Beautiful when mature, black w/blue edges on the fins, juvies are yellow.

I was thinking caudopuntatus now...how many males would be okay in the 30. It will be a while before the chicks arrive for them...
