Nice fish but they can get very aggressive as they mature, so the more space the better especially if more tangs will be present.

Well, its for the 120, wife's tank, no other tangs will be in there, yet :D

It's depend on the fish. Mine is not aggressive at all, I think it can be related to the gender, I probably have a female.

You can get one at King Ed Pet Centre. They sell them at approximately $150 ish.

If you become a frequent customer. Ron the owner can order you anything, he does his saltwater order at least once a week.

You don't need to be a frequent customer for him to order, lol. He's a good bro!

I'd have to agree. In general though; they've been known to be a little on the aggressive side. I've had mine for years and haven't had an issue aside from an odd skirmish with a wrasse or two - and it was temporary at that.

I think the hierarchy of aggressive tangs would be (again, my opinion):

Sohal
Achilles
Clown
Purple
Powder Blue

If you're patient and want a nicely coloured one - try and aim for one from the Red Sea ;)
