I too, love this fish. I've seen several for sale lately. I need to go to atlantis aquarium to get my fix. They have several beautiful adults. Anyone approve of one in a 220? ;(

imo my 220 is too small for a growing sohal

I say get him, when he doubles in size, sell him... get another little one grow it, sell it...

If the Sohal is healthy and eating, IMO it will be able to hold it's own with the purple. They are 2 aggressive tangs that usually are able to defend themselves. IMO you would have some aggression from the purple and then things would settle down

I have a sohal and purple. 8 months ago when I got both fish they were about the same size (~4"). In the past 8 months the sohal has doubled in size and purple stayed about the same and the sohal chases the purple around for fun. Imo a purple will not be able to catch a sohal in 6' tank regardless of size especially if there are some hiding spots. Other tangs in the same species are more the problem. I introduced the sohal at the same time as the purple and a black spot. Black spot was 7" when I got him, and after about 3 months the sohal was after him too. I think having 3 tangs split the agression enough that they all live happily together now that they have gotten their pecking order established. As for final size of a sohal only you can make that decision, if I feel mine gets to big I will either sell him or perhaps saute with some garlic and butter. :kidding: tang police.

Bigcapct,

What other fish do you have in there? My tank is of a similar size (220). Are you considering any other tangs?
