I have a tomini tang in my 50g. Unless it's feeding time he's very shy and hangs out near his hiding spot. He grazes, but he's quick to retreat. I can't seem to get him to eat any seaweed I put in the tank. He just doesn't seem interested.

I have one in the same size tank as yours. Mine also does not eat seaweed but it will eat Sera Spirulina Tabs that you can stick to the glass. It'll graze on those all day but won't touch nori.I have a tomini tang in my 50g. Unless it's feeding time he's very shy and hangs out near his hiding spot. He grazes, but he's quick to retreat.

What do you have for corals with that Pearl Fin Butterfly? I recently got one to fight aiptasia in a FOWLR with GSP thinking that if it eats some of the HSP it won’t be a problem, but if I can make it work I would move it to a reef later, but everything I have found says they are absolutely not reef safe.I have this guy, no trouble at all!
4 years. Yeah we need Hawaii to open back up.How long have you had him? Beautiful but I’ve struggled to find one recently.
Amazing colors!!First tang I put in my display was a white tail. "Turbo" is the most active fish I have - never never stops moving. Sometimes I feel a 6 ft tank is not big enough LOL. He is not very long, but super fat. He needs to go on a diet, but can't stop him from picking everything all day. I used to wonder why I didn't have algae problems...
My Blue Eye Tang is the boss of my RedSea Reefer 350 G2.Small tank tangs: Have you kept a Bristletooth tang?
Maybe you have heard the legend of the tang police or even felt their wrath. Maybe you have wondered “What is the smallest tank for a tang?” Instead of focusing today on tang shaming or arguing about minimums, let’s talk about some Bristletooth tangs which are some of the smaller tangs which aren’t as demanding with their tank space requirements. What is your experience with Bristletooth tangs? Do you have a preference between Kole, Tomini, Chevron, or other tangs that fit into the Ctenochaetus genus? Please tell us about your experience with small tank tangs and share your thoughts in the discussion below.

BTW, I did meet a Tang Police officer at Reef-A-Palooza Texas this past year and she and her K9 were very gracious, but I definitely would not want to get on the bad side of either one of them!
Where do you get one these days though?? I have been trying to find one.
Love my yellow eye kole
I don’t think you can unless someone is breaking their tank down.Where do you get one these days though?? I have been trying to find one.
From a very naive fish killer (not proud of it), how small is too small -- I KNOW this is not the gist of the thread -- we have a WB 70 cube -- cruising room for the gang is about 38 gallons (24"x24"22") -- we'd love to do a kole or a taormini! Thank you for not laughing.Small tank tangs: Have you kept a Bristletooth tang?

I have one in my 45 gallon DT and he will not eat Nori but loves the algae wafers. You may want try those.I have a tomini tang in my 50g.

In my opinion a 24” tank isn’t quite big enough. If I’m right the Tomini is the smaller of the two. But they do like to swim.From a very naive fish killer (not proud of it), how small is too small -- I KNOW this is not the gist of the thread -- we have a WB 70 cube -- cruising room for the gang is about 38 gallons (24"x24"22") -- we'd love to do a kole or a taormini!
