Hi! Im relatively new at keeping aquariums. I have had a 55 gallon freshwater set up for about 6 months now, with no real problems. Currently the tank is stocked w/10 black mollies-10-red eyed tetras, 10- zebra danios, 10-red wag platys and 2 ea of blue and gold Gouramis. I would like to expand my tank to more colorful fish and the Purple and Yellow Tangs have caught my eye! Every other site I browse seems to have a different variation or opinion regarding this matter. My question(s) are: Can my tank be converted to acomodate Tangs and if so how many in a 55 gallon tank is recommendeed?
I recently visted a pet store and in a 20 gallon tank there were 3 each of the Purple and Yellow Tangs altogether and this is what I had in mind for my 55 gallon tank..3 each of the Purple and Yellow altogether but before I spend the money it would be nice to be for sure. I have the feeling from the Pet Stores I have went to that they will sell you anything regardless of the consequences! Please HELP Thank you Don
