I'll give you one guess for which one I voted for. :hammer:

I love this fish for its personality and how it looks like it is wearing a pinstriped suite. :)

My favorite is the Yellow Tang for the color, followed by the Regal Blue Tang. I introduced them both at the same time and they get along swimmingly. :yo:

Mimic, hippo, tomini and powder brown are really peaceful fish, more on the shy side, but very cute
Powder blue, scopas, yellow tang are more feisty. Up to you what your looking for? But I have all these beauties in a 150g
Got rid off salifin and Vlamingii, they where good but got to bossy in the tank

Have had so much success with formula pellets. Frozen never seemed to keep tangs fattened more than a year. Try the medium size.

When placed in the same tank all tangs have the tendency to show aggression. I have multiple tangs in my 90 so I'm far from the tang police. That being said, the above statement is probably more of a personal experience kind of thing and not so much a baseline. Although they are all known to be great reef fish, just not great roommates to other tangs. I have not had a tang show aggression to any other fish besides tangs though...

Forget what I said here... Misread a previous post and this is useless to what y'all are talking about. My bad.

I love all tangs. My dream is to have a 300g tank so I could stock it with a bunch of them. So far the most I have been able to keep with success has been 4 inside a 120g. Had a purple, yellow, Blue hippo and a Tomini.

My tomini has gotten aggressive towards my starry blenny ever since i started feeding live black worms. And i mean the day i started... It sucks because they used to be buds
