Whats your top 5 fish??

[untamed]

I do love any Naso tang, but your tank isn't big enough for vlamingi or unicornis... Go with elegans (blond Naso).

What are your thoughts regarding your own 2 monsters going forward? Given that your tank is large yet has a somewhat unconventional footprint for large tangs...

Leopard wrasse
Mandarin dragonet
Purple tang
Achilles tang
CBB

My Fave Five:

Nasos aren't nearly as active as say...Acanthuras tangs. It is unfortunate that both families are called "tangs" because they are so completely different.
