HI has anyone kept these before?

and if they have what are they like to keep?

A few friends of mine breed them; very cool species of Tang. The one breeding group that I did get to see in person didn't seem very active, which may have been that they were new to the tank. Great looking fish nonetheless.

Amazing to see them in full breeding color. They are becoming more common lately. I picked up Enantiopus melanogenys Ndole group recently. They are pretty shy fish.

I geuss they would be ok in a tank with other tang?

 

[swk]

best kept with cyps and that's about it IMO.

Maybe benthochromis too

 

[andy1985]

Would Frontosa Be ok with them?

 

[mike dunagan]

Fear that they might get eaten

 

[swk]

Almost anything kept with fronts that are under 4-5" and narrowly built are prone to becoming snacks at one point or another. They can be fine together for years, but eventually, they will try to "snack" on somebody.

 

[junglej]

yeah definately no fronts. they are about the same size as some cyps and cyprichromis are the fronts natural food source

 

[andy1985]

I thort they get to the same size as Jumbo Cyps which people say can keep with fronts
