I know the little toony size fish are hard to resist, but with a small tank like a 135 I would stay from Regal Tangs. These guys are speed freaks that just seem to enjoy swimming as fast as they can!

I prefer what I like to call "hard working" Tangs. These guys are happy to spend the day cleaning the reef, and hardly seem to notice they're in a glass box. The top of this list would be the Yellow Tang- a real workhorse.

I would substitute the Powder Blue for a White Cheek (Japonica), my personal favorite. While still sensitive it's much easier to keep.

My 2 cents
