Hey all,
So I am planning on setting up a 120x36x45cm LxWxH tank as a tangyanikan aquarium. And was wanting some suggestions on what are some nice tangs that would be good in a tank this size.
I was thinking some Shellies and cyprochromis leptosoma but I am new to tangs and don't know that many species:
Cheers

My favourite tang are the Altolamprologous Calvus, Morley Aquariums had a breeding pair of Alto. Compressiceps (similar to calvus) that were just amazing.

Hi Red,
I had a Tang tank with that exact measurements, My stocklist was as follows (roughly, can't remember exactly 
):
15odd x C. Leptosoma Utinta
4 x Cuckoo catfish
5 x Alto C. Sumbu Shell Dwarf
5 x Jul Regani
Each specie had its own area (rocks, shells, open water, etc.) which made it very nice to look at!
Cheers,

Thanks for the advice guys... Just got a quick question...
Would a 4 foot be big enough for half a dozen xenotilapia melanogenys or a another xenotilapia or enantiopus species?
Thanks
