Personally, the hype of the Black Tang...I don't get it. They're only expensive because they are rarely imported due to being scarce in the wild. Why people would want a fish like that is beyond me. I say leave them in the ocean then!

go back and read the question again...... im asking what tang would you pick out of all of them..

Oh LMAO!!!! Even when I re-read, it doesn't seem particularly clear to me whether you already own those listed, or whether you're picking between them.

My vote is Achilles obviously...

If I was picking a tang for myself I would go with a powder brown. I love my achilles dearly but he really doesn't belong in a glass box

I love mine also...but I often think the same thing. They are just REALLY active fish and need a very large tank.

I like the Powder Brown from the list.

yes I know i thought about a clown tang ,but i think that 150 gal is too small for him or her.

I like the orange shoulder tang a lot, nice vibrant personality, and they are super cool to watch them change.

If you go with any of the powder tangs, or the achilles, I would hope you can find one second hand. I so rarely hear of them doing well from LFS to tank. You need one like Marie's tang.

What kind of Kole do you have? Yellow ring?

Skimmerking · #8 05-30-2008, 03:49 AM

i have the yellow eye kole

ya i love the achillies ,but they are funny for time lines for living the 3-6 -9 fish
the first 3 weeks
then the 6 month time line
and then 9 month time line if thye get pass those datws you are good to go .

I've had mine for 2 years and except for the first stressful (for me) 6 weeks he has never been ill or bothered by parasites.
But my 175g bowfront is just too small for him, he uses up every available space and then some and he can swim fast. I must lose a gallon of water a day just from the water he flips out of the tank with his tail
