The spotted cheek or Acanthurus maculiceps is a bonzer and of course the black one is cool too. LOL

I only have the orange shoulder. Speaking of tangs though did you guys see the white spine tang on liveaquaria? I wouldnt mind having one of them.

Thanks for this subject Joe. I have not added a tang to the new tank after losing the small spotted cheek and orange shoulder due to ick after the tank upgrade :( I am still on tang time out until May 1st.

Dang Mark- sorry to hear that:(, be sure and get them tangs kent zoe and supplement their food right away so they can recover faster from the ship. I got my spotted cheek where you got yours and threw him right in with the big dogs-the zoe really helps as long as they eat.

Joe- how big is yours? Mine was around 2". It was a cool fish, but my lack a patience cost it's life. :(

So far, I have narrowed my list between a Naso elegans, another Acanthurus maculiceps, another Ctenochaetus truncatus, a Acanthurus olivaceus, a zebrasoma rostratum or one other. I like fish, but I do not want to overloas the tank as I still am thinking of adding a spotted rabbitfish alongside my magnificent foxface.

 

[KEEPERZ]

yep-mine is the small 2-3" one also, my tomini and powder blue went after him for a couple days but he held up, I really believe if you can get a tang to eat and you supplement, ich will be beaten, that white lip/spine looks sweet!!! I know rabbit fish and foxfaces are real good workers, but they get too large too quick for my taste.

orange shoulder. Bought at about 2 inches in october. He is now 5-6 inches

feeding frenzy

hippo, blue eye kole tang, and scribbled rabbit

 

[KEEPERZ]

the blue eye kole is a good worker I bet!!

 

[cl2ysta1]

he is a serial snail cleaner!!!!

actually he is the only worker in the tank. all the other tangs/rabbits are worthless. spoiled

Some of the tangs i had in my 240g cube. I miss them :(

I feel bad every time i look at my Chevron and Blue tang. My Ozone reactor leaked out some Ozone into the tank and effecting the fish...

 

[cl2ysta1]

you have some better pix on how they were affected?

 

[480greefer]

I don't have better pic but the tail and the skin look like it being eating away by something.
