Show off your Tangs

[Jeff Willetts]

Love all my tangs

 

[Mattres]

My Tang duo, Kolette and Limoncello!
My first two tangs I've had and they provide plenty of entertainment. Kolette was the first in the tank and wasn't to happy after Limoncello was introduced but after a couple days they've hardly been inseparable since.

Powder Brown, Regal Blue Tang, Yellow Eye Kole Tang. Along for the picture are the Yellow Longnose Butterflyfish and Foxface Rabbitfish. Not pictured here is my Gold Nugget Clownfish.

I'd been waiting awhile for a Fowleri to become available. I ended up getting this guy from Fishy Business. He's a stud.

Ok first off. No comments on the tangs being in a 90 right now. My other tank (110) cracked and this is a temp home till the 500 gets set up in January.

My only 2 tangs. A clown tang (Bozo) and my atlantic blue (earl????? wife named it). The atlantic blue has a little transitioning left to do. They are best buds and sleep together all snuggled up in the same hole.

Our Blonde Naso Tang LOVES this angel hair macro algae. She eats it constantly!

Our Blonde Naso Tang LOVES macro algae! She eats it all evening long. She’s getting a little plump...

My Lt. Tang. Purchased from LA back in May 2018 at around 3". Today he/she is pushing 7 or 8" and girth to match. Very friendly fish I have to say. Very active. Caught me off guard how fast it grows. Eats everything to include the kitchen sink. Not as colorful has others posted here, in fact, probably drab. But the blue around that tail area and edges of fins when the light hits it just right it has an amazing look. Almost electric. Interesting fish.

I don't know.... I think it's a pretty cool looking tang :-)

What type of tang is this?

 

[mfinn]

Got this guy when he was about as big as a quarter.

 

[littlebigreef]

What type of tang is this?

acanthurus fowleri- he's closely related to the more common dussumieri, bariene and xanthopterus.

Very nice! How long have you had him? What's his temperament like?

I bought him a year ago. He is just like all the other tangs. He holds his own. Solid fish! It has been thru a move heater failure high temps. He has pulled thru. I didn’t pay that much for him.

I added these two after going tang less for a while. I had to remove a desjardini who had turned into a total jerk back in July. I ended up with algae issues after that, so he must have been really keeping it in check. These two have cleaned things back up. I do have an issue with the bristletooth having his scalpels exposed 24/7 for a couple weeks now. I'm not sure if they are stuck or if it is because he is constantly fighting his own reflection in the glass.
