This is as far as I’ve gotten
I have heard, though I have no personal experience, that the Purple and the Powder Blue can get aggressive. @Eagle_Steve, @F i s h y, @LRT, @Lost in the Sauce may have a better idea about that, though. I'm so happy that the tank is finally coming together for you, and that you've started updating again! I've missed you and your multi-quotes LOL

Can only really speak for Powder Brown. All I can say is he's just as bossy and pushy as the tangs i swam on reef with. Was perfect citizen when I got him as baby then all of the sudden he snapped one day and decided he was going to bully and harass just about everything in the tank for no other reason than just existing. Snails, other fish, hermits, bubbles on bounce shrooms. He just can't swim by much without stopping and beating it up if he doesn't like the way it looks. He lives in a tank with 8" porcupine puffer now. Literally steals food out of puffers mouth every chance he gets.
Not sure if bigger tank would do him any good. More like a prescription of Xanax and straight jacket.

So glad you’re putting together a stocking list! :)

(don’t have any suggestions, but I’m interested to see how this works out ;Woot )

Missed you too! Hoping to catch up on everyone’s threads before you all upgrade to something new;Woot

Try Trazadone. Our black lab has his own prescription..unlimited refills;Dead

My baby scopas is nearly 2.5 inches now, all three scopas tangs play up to / flirt with the fox face, probably would need to go in early as you have a few frisky tangs in you list. :)

I thought of your babies today, and realized I hadn’t added a Scopas to my list. If I remember correctly, they are quite photogenic:cool:

Running out of tangs :p

I say this.

Whitecheck
Purple
White tail.

add white tail first, then whitecheek and then purple. Make sure purple is slightly smaller and it should work out. You now have 3 tangs that look nothing alike or are the same shape.

Looks like a good list. From seeing the price of fish lately, especially Tangs, my "new" tank may be a damsel tank. :)
