What is your favorite tang?

[Reefflapper]

I am partial to the Lieutenant tang, but others would consist of the Schoal and Clown tangs as well.

Well I now have 3 or my 4 favs....
Powder Blue
Dejarden
Purple
but for the record my fav is the Sohal Tang.....

 

[juniorrocketdad]

I have always been a huge fan of the Achilles tang

 

[nuxx]

Acanthurus Polyzona is high on my list right now

Oh word?

Really like our Chevron and Black Tangs.

Always had a soft spot for Achilles and Sohals

Will probably add a Gem, Achilles, Achilles Hybrid and Zebra down the line. I feel our current 4 tangs will be aggressive if I don't add more fish first.

My polyzoma is the worst. He fights anything with stripes. I just added an aussie tusk 4 times his size and he tries to torment it.

Really?

How does he do with other Acan. Tangs?

Any pics?

Not sure if "the" favorite, but surely one of my favorite species... Atlantic blue tang, Acanthurus coeruleus.

Beautiful in all color phases.

Best regards.

Daniel.

The powder brown is very underrated in my opinion

 

[nuxx]

Stunning.

Not sure if I'm going to miss our Chevron's Juvi colors or like the darker look...

Also looking at adding a Gem down the line

Orange is much better than grape.

two of my favorite....

Got to love the whitetail pacific tang- all the beauty of the tomini, kole, and a splash of red rolled into one.

 

[SoloChromis]

Fowleri hands down. Subtle beauty, relatively passive temperament, and not very common. If I could only keep one tang (in a tank 350g+), it'd be the fowleri (I'd get a purple to go with it if I could get 2 :dance

Any suggestions on having a yellow tang and a white cheek tang in one tank?

Size of tank?

Should be ok.

It's a 55 currently....with a 20 sump. Plenty of room to swim. But has about 60 lb of live rock. Currently I have a horseshoe crab, skunk cleaner shrimp, coral banded shrimp, yellow sea cucumber, yellow tang, coral beauty, two ocelleris clown fish, rayol gramma, red scooter blenny, spotted mandarin, two brittle stars, three anemones, couple different polyps, favia, two frog spawn, Sun coral, a bunch of hermits and snails.

Hoping to add a two barred rabbit fish as well as a goby this weekend.

Probably near your limit for bioload. Would wait to add more tangs if/when you get a larger tank

I honestly don't feel your tank is big enough for one of the two never mind both of them.
