Gorgeous!!! I have been looking for one of these for over a year! To say I am jealous would be a gross understatement! Great looking specimen to boot!So i am in the early stages of planning my stocking for my new 234 gallon tank. I want 2 tangs and i already have one so the second is a big decision, lol.
I LOVE my white tail bristle tooth tang, one of my favorite fish for a LONG time and it took forever to find him, but i want one more tang, so.......
If you could only choose 1 or 2 tangs what would they be?
What is your favorite tang?
Why?
Please provide a picture to go along if you currently have it!
(I am interested in different tangs, not a yellow or hippo)
Here is my tang, (Earl) He was only added yesterday after being in QT for 5 weeks
I have always been fond of Lieutenant Tangs
Orange shoulders are neat too!

The Achilles and powder blue are very ich prone and can be aggressive, it depends on what other tankmates you have and the order they were added in as far as the tang goes. With a proper QT and quality water the ich issue with either tang and difficulty getting the Achilles to eat can be over come:reading:

I love all tangs...but my fav is probably archillis and powder blue...
here is my in qt
and then I have like over 10 in my display...
good luck on choosing one...its gonna be difficult!!!:dance:
Reef80 is this the Achilles that you got from DD you were talking about in the "Achilles tang primer thread?" If so glad to see he made the 36hr or however long it was in the bag, he looks great! I got mine last week on Wednesday from LA and is currently in the middle of the tank transfer method and will be in my QT next week. Are you going to use and meds, or are you only going to treat if you notice a issue? Love the AT!!
Dmorthy215...the fish was shipped on Thursday and I didn't receive it until Monday (FEDex problem but LA was on top of giving me credit back) and it didn't make it. So this guy was purchase w/ the credit. He is a blessing from heaven...eats like a champ, not timid at all and is very robust. He has been in qt for 8 days and not a sign of parasite. I know that my tangs will from time to time get ick which I'm not too worried about but its the flukes and velvet/brook. I don't plan on medicating him at all unless he shows signs of distress. My expereince is that tangs usually don't do too well w/ tx unless prazipro but this guys is in perfect health and condition. Signs of sxs usually show in week 2 if he needs tx or not. He beats all my other tangs in terms of personality. Will flash himself at me when I'm close to the window to show me whos the boss and people were not kidding about the amount of movement that they make. This guys eats like 2 cubes of mysis and a 1/4 sheet of nori a day and is only a juvi. It should be interesting when I add him to my display w/ 10 other tangs. Good to see that yours is doing well too.
