What fish do you think is the most disease resistant?

[alfredshouse]

I love Tangs, I think they are the most beautiful fish. However, the seem to have alot of problems, ich prone for sure. I just purchased an Atlantic Blue and it now has Ich and possibly Crypt. And today I see my Yellow Tang does too. Can anyone recommend their favorite reef fish that is a little more hardy?

Damsels?

I have to say my yellow tang is one tough nut and has survived ich and marine velvet, numerous tank moves and various tank mates

[hillegom]

not my favorite fish, but damsels for sure are tough

lone yellowtail damsel with me for 6 years and i suspect will keep going for another 16 more. blue and purple tangs also 5+ yrs and both still fat and glowing with life.

Achilles or powder blue lol just joking, I would say damsel as well hehe

I have never had a Damsel fish in my tank but my Yellow Tang has been with me for years and has survived just about every mistake and tank disaster imaginable. This fish has been in three different tanks. I think one of the reasons this fish does so well is because the other fish are not able to bully this fish as it is able to look after itself and not get stressed.

I think the blue thro. trigger. I wiped out my all my live stock but my 8 in trigger lived.

I have had a Blue Chromis from the beginning and it has survived the whole spectrum on newbie mistakes. Next in-line is Foxface, has shown some signs of issues but in the end always seems to shake them off.

I wish my Nemo would kick it.

Yes also foxface. I almost forgot, years ago I had a realy bad case of bad hydrometer and I raised my salt so high that every thing died except a few softies, my percs and my foxface.
