Your Favorite Tang/Surgeonfish

[maxpower2112]

My favorite tang would have to be a tie between the Sohal tang (Acanthurus sohal) and Achilles tang (Acanthurus Achilles). Whatââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s yours? Post pics

I just had my favorite Tang die this morning...he was a red sea sail fin...I think my black cap killed him cause he was alive last night before I went to work and this morning when I got home he was DOA.....he was sharp to really nice colors vivid lines of yellow.....I took some rock out yesterday and it really p'd off the black cap...

I do like the Powder Blues a lot though too...those are my two choices

My favorite is also one that I cannot have in my 180 gallon. The tank is just too small. I love the coloration and streamers of the Vlamingii Tang. However it grows quickly and can grow to a length of 24". They don't even start to get their adult coloration until they are about 10" - 12" long or so.

One of these days I will have a tank that is large enough to hold one of these monsters.

Gotta be honest after losing a hippo and PBT in the last 6 months Any tang that is alive and healthy is my favorite tang

Doan

I forgot to mention Gem Tang (Zebrasoma gemmatum). I have always wanted one but they are very rare and extremely expensive. I have seen one on sale for $2500, maybe one day.

That is a very pretty PBT. my favorite would have to be a sohal, blonde naso, and after seeing those pics a vlamingii. now in order to fit my three favorite in a tank together how big would you say it would have to be? keep in mind i don't want the tang police coming after me and these are huge. i'm only 22 so i need to start planning out what i need to strive for. would a 1200 gallon suffice cuz i'll have to start looking for change in couch cushions immediatly if i want one by retirement.

I like PBTs and Hippos, but I can't have any in my 30g tank . Oh well, one day when I have my 220g...

I like the Naso with streamers. I've only seen one, a long time ago. Hope to get one for my 190 when I get it all finished.

I like the clown tang... though I do not have one!

 

[staticfishmonger]

red sea sailfin tang, naso, kole, powder blue, orange shoulder, Oh what the hell i love them all.......lol

 

[Bamm Bamm]

Red Sea Sailfin
Red Sea Sohal
and a Clown Tang
Kole Tang

 

[marinelife]

My favs are Hippo, Purple, White-faced, I have all 3 and love them. I also like this black one I got but I do not think it is going to stay all black, it looks like it has some circles on it that are silver/white. So I will add it to the list once I figure out what it is

 

[sabodish]

my current favorite is my tenneti tang..pic below

 

[ozadars]

i love almost all of the acanthurus species but especially orange shoulder, clown, achilles and pb. Other than these gem and vlamingi is really cool

 

[maxpower2112]

Keep them coming.


Jow, I think 1200 gallons would be a sufficient size. Way to aim high.:thumbsup:
