Yup, he's an A. Japonicus, about 3" long. I got him as a fixer upper for $20 at King Ed's.

Hi I have a 32 gallon tank, with 2 percs and 1 mandarin. They are all doing fine. I was having trouble picking my next fish. Im thinking either a tiny blue tang or yellow tang. Just a heads up, I will be upgrading this summer to a 75 gallon. My tank is crawling with pods, I have a small refugium and also have 5 side cultures. Whats your advice? Ive read that blue tangs grow larger but need less place to swim(75 gallon) and yellow tangs grow only 7 inches and need 100 gallons. I have had my tank for a full year now. Any suggestions would be helpfull???? Pm with your suggestions please.

If your still looking for a cleaner tang I would highly recommend a bristletooth tang such as the gold-eye kole tang. Of all the tangs I have it cleans the best! Chevron tangs are also of the same family, it starts off as a bright orange tang with brown or purple stripes, yet as it gets old it will darken to brown.

I also second the recommendation of a Red Sea sailfin tang. I have one and the color changes are dramatic. I also keep it with a fox face. Lots of personality, but its doesn't do a lot of tank cleaning.

Other colorful fish, albeit small, that I would recommend would be a copperband butterfly, and a sixline wrasse. Both are colorful, and have some tank benefits.

Let us know what you decide!
