Curious, how large is it? Mine is a good size, maybe 6 inches or so. Wonder if they get braver as they grow?

The sarcasm, if it really matters to you. You did'nt find any humor in the OP's response?

Dude thats not meant to be fightin words. Nor was I bashing Naesco, it was good advice. Thats the problem with public forums, it's hard to tell how a person is coming across. Sorry, now back on topic we're starting to hijack.

Well, there was certainly a lot of 'tang police' sarcasm in there, which, given the avatar of the first reply, I think it fits quite nicely. I never said that I'm ignoring the advice however. Given my findings on both of these tangs, and the advice from Naesco, I'm seriously considering changing my plan. I may give in should I find a nice healthy powder blue at an LFS someday, but that is more of a lack of will power than it is ignorance.

Should anybody have other tang species that would work well with a regal, and in a 4'x30" tank, kindly pipe in. I'm open to suggestions. What about a Purple? I like them, but I've always considered there cost vs beauty ratio to be a little bit off.

For what it's worth, my regal is pretty mellow... so far at least. 'She' was never harassed by my Flame Angel which I assume would be because she wouldn't let hime push her around, but I've never seen any agression out of her.

Added a Regal to 145g that had a Purple, zero aggression from the start. Both were about the same size.
