Kole Tang?

[Ratchet]

I just wanted to get your guys' thoughts on a Kole Tang in a 40 breeder. Thanks!

"tang" in under 80 gallons is generally a no no for me... koles stay small but even liveaquaria recommends twice that size. if you get it as a tiny and understand itll be a rent-a-tank, than i dont see why not, but in a 40g i would stay away from tangs IMO

That probably won't happen because I have no where to put it. Darn it. I love those things

U can always sell/trade/give away later when it gets too big...

That's what I meant by not having anywhere to put it, how long does it take for them to grow?

You will be fine if you get a tiny one for while

A kole will be fine for several months if not a couple of years. Keep him well fed and plus 1 on finding a small one.

+1

id say a year to year and a half from a tiny one to where u need to start finding a home honestly. they grow with how much you feed them, so get a tiny one, feed consistent and enough... should last almost 2 years

Not yet. He just got in the full reef last weekend. Before that he was with acros and zoas only...
I've been keeping a close eye on my clam and acans for any problems. I'm not convinced he's going to be a good boy in the 210 yet...
