My Gem is actually battling the D. Sailfin tang currently...LOL!!!

I would have never thought it when I introduced them all in my tank. Now the Zebrasoma fight amongst themselves, LOL!!! :p :eek: ;Facepalm
Same. Gem is currently starting beef with the Desjardini, orange shoulder, naso, and bristletooth, simultaneously!

Pretty and nasty things they are

But they are BEAUTIFUL!!! I would have never thought my Gem tang to be the bull as it was the smallest originally. I am starting to wonder if Zebrasoma tangs grow up the fastest as I have seen the 3 I ordered grow, quickly, past my 4+ inch Tomini tang. I am wondering if aggression follows as quickly...HMMM!!! Either way, I love the tangs. and, I know U you do as well.

Are you kidding me, they IGNORE the Achilles tang...LOL!!!

They, unfortunately, do irritate my Blonde Naso tang...UGH!!! It hides most times of the day as a result recently.

I love the picture. I counted 5, maybe 6, am I wrong?

Blonde Naso tang
Some sort of Sailfin, maybe a D, Sailfin with your post tang
Gem tang
Some sort of Bristletooth tang, maybe a White Tail
Blue Hippo tang
Yellow tang? Hard to say because of the squared off tail and it not flaring out, may just be the position of the camera at the time of photo

Hey Frank, have you had any experience with lavender tangs? Unreasonable to want one for the 120?
they get big quick... ;) pretty fish though.

looks like it’s a convict and/or tomini for me.

Both are beautiful in their own right. I feel the Convict tang is the most underrated tang in reality. I am still looking to add one, even though, they are none aggressive, when tangs are mentioned.

oh I agree. Convict tangs are so subtly gorgeous and underrated.
