looking for a fish!

[Scooterman]

I have a 125g tank, In it one Bi-color blenny, sixline & a small purple (Fridmani Pseudochromis)
I'm looking for a small Tang or algae eating fish that would not get as large as a hippo or yellow tang or a fish that doesn't get bigger than about 4/5 inches maybe!.

Suggestions welcome!

How about a Kole Tang?

Might be an option, I get different tank sizes on them though.

Check into one of the rabbitfishes Scooter, thay may get a little larger than you want, but there are some beauties out there. I think Kevin has a Magnificent Rabbitfish in his display at his store, and it is a beauty.

I second the kole tang. I have one in my 75 and he is doing great.

How long have you had it & how big did it grow?

Charlie I had the rabbitfish before, nice but not what I'm looking for.

If the algae-eating feature is to keep algae in the display tank under control, then the choice of the fish will depend upon the type of nuisance algae, diatoms, microbes, etc.

Most Tangs will get large. Some are known to eat certain algae and let others alone. Rabbitfish are less likely to control algae, but do eat (and need to eat) marine algae put into the tank as food.

Good luck!

I want one not necessary to control algae, even though I have a little green on the rocks & possibly razor.

I have had my Kole for atleast 2 years and it is 1 1/2 x 3.

someone told me that a picasso is from the true perc family?, so i guess that's why they dont' fight .
