powder blue's
I have a 72 gallon tank. there are no tangs in the tank, but i am hoping to get a powder blue. however i get mixed coments about the powder blue. some say it is to aggresive, some say it is not. i currently have a lawnmower blenny,flame dwarf angel, 2 cardinal's and a purple raze. the tank is a reef set-up. if you guys could give your opinion on the powder blue it will really help. give opinions on all aspects of the fish and it's behaviors

72 its a bit small for a PB--they reach adult size fast and will need alot more room.

They're one of the hardest fish to keep... even in a large tank. I think a 72 still might be a bit too small for one of these guys, which is a shame.. they're beautiful fish!

I have a Powder Blue in my 180 along with my Blonda Naso, yes it is a somewhat aggressive fish, yes it grows fast, and yes they need alot of room to swim. I have my rocks setup so that he can not only swim around them but also through them to give him more swimming area. and as far as aggression, he has a major problem with my bicolor blennie, chasing it back into its hole any chance he gets. but thats about it, other then that hes a constant grazer eats great and is very active and visible. hth

Kole tangs are great and don't get huge. Very mild mannered too. In case you decide not to get the Powder Blue.
