larger reef/invert safe fish??

[fishoholic]

I have a 8 inch salfin tang (and some other tangs as well) with sexy shrimp, green clown goby, chromis, & prec.'s together in our 230g and none of our tangs bother them at all.

Another thing I should point out is the order in which you add these fish. If you add the tang first, it could cause problems when adding the smaller, more docile fish.

Also, if you do plan on doing the multiple tang thing, try not to put tangs of the same family together (i.e. Scopa + Yellow or Powder Blue + Powder Brown, etc) as you will for sure get territory/aggression issues unless your tank is really big (and a 120 is not considered really big).

I don't want multiple tangs. I think just one larger fish would make fiance happy. I prefer having small fish to large ones as you can have more variety. Looking at pics I like the bella, longnose butterfly and the yellow foxface, but not sure what he would like...

I agree with a Foxface or a Rabbitfish of some type. My wife who was a little hesitant at first, loves our little Foxface..Just make sure you remember the fins are venomous so don't pick it up without gloves...not that you would..

Seems some turn away from the Yellow Tang as common, but it is a really nice looking fish; active , bright yellow, readily available, relatively cheap, reef safe and does well in aquariums (at least long lived).

Due also seriously consider setting up a QT, unless you're sure the fish are problem free (say from a fellow reefer you can trust).

I have a 120 sps tank with 2 tomato clowns that lay eggs every 2 weeks. 2 yellow tangs a couple smaller fish and just today 2 blue nigger triggers around 3 inches each. I love these fish they stay together and they are cheap at aroun 25 bucks each. Consider. and they are reef safe if anyone tells you otherwise
