Which to get...Naso Tang or Gold Rim tang?

[vexeclipse2007]

Just got my 95 gallon Wave tank with over 150lbs of live rock...right now we have a Blue Throat Trigger which is a peaceful fish...I read that both tangs are peaceful but would like to know your guys's opinion of both...Thanks

Neither, your tank is too small for them. they will outgrow your tank. if you plan to get it small and then trade or sell them when they get larger, i would say get the naso.
goldrims are nice, but they are a little hard to keep.

ya their only 2" big...ill keep them for a few yrs and once they get bigger I would trade or sell them to some1 with bigger tank

It is best to stock your tank with fish that will not outgrow it, as opposed to hoping on being able to sell/trade them in when they outgrow your tank -- which will most likely be less then a year for the "naso".

I wouldn't do either if I were you, but DEF not the naso. You'd be better off with a chevron.

Some other options that are more appropriate:

scopas tang
bristletooth tang
mimic tang

the naso are much more of a pacing swimmer fish than the other choice. I would NOT get a naso if I were you. the Goldrim are not good shippers and can be hard to keep. look for a small Powder brown or bristletooth for that tank size.

If you like the look of the Gold Rim, go for a Powder Brown. Personally, I think the PB is more beautiful than the Gold Rim, but VERY similar in appearance. However, it may still be too large a tang for the 95. What about a Kole tang? They stay smaller and are much prettier than they are given credit to be.
