2 gsp and a yellow tang too much for a 75?

what you guys htink the fish are pretty small, the tang is about 2 inches long and the gsp are round 1.5 each. I have like 75 pounds of lr now, but im getting 20 more.

i thought a 75bwas normally recommended for just 2 gsps?

I would agree that it would be good for 2 gsp's but not the tang as well.

Agree - no tang. IMO, although yellow tangs do not require as much space as others, they are still very fast and highly nuerotic fish. I wouldn't like to confine one with two hungry GSPs - wouldn't be fair.

I wouldn't recommend the yellow tang, every yellow tang i've seen has been mean and I think the 2 puffers if bothered could take out the tang. I've even seen a Yellow Tang beating up on a Dogface puffer 3 times his size.

Depends on the fish. I have had a tang who was very timid and never bothered any tankmates but I have also seen them beat up other fish. Same with the GSP's, depends on the fish.

If they are all peaceful and somewhat timid, it would be fine. BUT they may be fine now and not so much as they get older, so something to think about.

I think the 75G is a bit small for a Yellow Tang though personally, they really swim a lot! Mine never seemed to stop, not even at night...

i think it depends on the personalities of the fish but i think 75 is a bit to small.
