dream fish

[burgerchow]

What's your dream fish? I just got mine . Picked up a 3.5 inch Sohal Tang from J&Ls on Sunday. Beautiful fish. I've always wanted one, but was worried that my tank ( 4 ft 120 ) wouldn't be big enough, but this guy was small enough that I think he could still be comfortable for a couple of years, before I have to upgrade to a 300 gallon. So far, he's not at all aggressive, as I introduced him to a 6" foxface, 3" naso tang, 4' christmas wrasse, 2.5" flame angel, pair of percs. In fact the foxface was chasing Him around.

He's a great fish, always scraping algae off the live rocks.

Naesco, I don't feed my fish very much, so I know he won't grow much in the next couple years. Don't worry, he'll be o.k. in a 4 foot tank for now.
That's it, no more fish to add to this tank.

Sohal Tang, Achilles Tang
Can either of them be housed in a 40G Tank for when I start it up ?

Please send my condolences and sympathies to your naso tang.

Sohal is also my dream fish. My 225 is empty and I still think I've run out of room for one. Shame such an amazing fish.

And I'm not judging here. Any tank is too small for any fish If I really want to think about it. I just don't want to =)

Sohals are my favourite too & one of the few tangs I've never owned, simply because I'm afraid what will happen to my school of other tangs if the Sohal grows up & becomes an A-hole like some others I've known.

Good luck. It's a beautiful fish, that's for sure.

Hey, he's only a juvenille. I figure if he gets too big and rambunctious, I'll just set up a 300 gallon for him. Way easier to convince the wife to get a bigger tank if we already have the fish. lol..

By the way Franklin, if the Naso kicks it because of the sohal, I'll invite you to the service.. lol
