Need help identifying a fish, please?

Yep RS350 = 350 liters I believe, so roughly 92 gallons total system volume.

Just saw this so it’s only 72 gallons. You can keep it but would be best in a bigger tank once it matures

Looks like a orange stripe bristletooth, they get big!


EDIT: Nevermind, looks like a two spot bristletooth, which won't get as big (kole tangs will have a yellow ring around their eyes)

Also here is my white tail.

Beautiful!

Thank you! Definitely one of our favorite fish. The wife absolutely had to have one once we learned about them.

I got this fish from someone breaking down a tank and it was free so I jumped on it. I want to know what fish it is and if it ca. stay in my redsea 350 long term. Thanks in advance!

This is a Ctenochaetus binotatus - Twinspof Bristletooth or Blue Eye Kole. This is mine, he is without a doubt much more peaceful than other tangs but he will have his moments when I introduce angels or such.

Ctenochaetus binotatus is correct. I'm surprised it took 2 pages before someone said it. The "two spots" by the caudal fin give it away. The blue eye also helps. Two spot would be a good common name to use, since it is pretty obvious what species you're talking about.

Personally, I don't like the term "bristletooth", unless you're referring to the whole Ctenochaetus genus. I also think kole should be reserved for C. strigosus, which basically aren't collected anymore.
