what other type of Tang for my 150
 
Well as you all know that I have my new tank and I was thinking of going with another fish for the display.
I have a KOLE tang in there now with a foxface. I probably going to loose the foxface due to he like to nip at my clams. so out with the old and in with the new........... BUT WHAT NEW ????
orange shoulder tang
achillies
powder brown
powder blue
what would you reefer put in the tank if there is another tang that you would add.......

Four tangs in a 150 seems like plenty already to me...besides you already have an Achilles, so what more would you want?

Personally, the hype of the Black Tang...I don't get it. They're only expensive because they are rarely imported due to being scarce in the wild. Why people would want a fish like that is beyond me. I say leave them in the ocean then!

go back and read the question again...... im asking what tang would you pick out of all of them..

Oh LMAO!!!! Even when I re-read, it doesn't seem particularly clear to me whether you already own those listed, or whether you're picking between them.

My vote is Achilles obviously...

If I was picking a tang for myself I would go with a powder brown. I love my achilles dearly but he really doesn't belong in a glass box :cry:

ya i love the achillies ,but they are funny for time lines for living the 3-6 -9 fish
the first 3 weeks
then the 6 month time line
and then 9 month time line if thye get pass those datws you are good to go .

Marie I know what you mean I used to own one and loved it so much. that was my second choice the PBT

I've had mine for 2 years and except for the first stressful (for me) 6 weeks he has never been ill or bothered by parasites.
But my 175g bowfront is just too small for him, he uses up every available space and then some and he can swim fast. I must lose a gallon of water a day just from the water he flips out of the tank with his tail :rolleyes:
