Tang recommendations

[Breakthecycle2]

Looking for a tang for my new 200 gallon.I had an Achilles or Naso in mind.

I have a Kole yellow eye tang and a hippo tang. The kole is by far my favorite

Nasos get rather huge, I'd go with the Achilles.

What are the dimensions?

That's a tough one. The naso gets big but that will take years. The Achilles stays around 10" max but they have a major attitude. It's a tough one since I love both, but I would go with the achilles

I agree. They are very tough fish to keep, but just do your research.

Nothing looks quite like an achilles tang when healthy. But can be susceptible to ich and it is very noticeable on an achilles. They also are mean, even by tang standards.

Ive always heard the Achilles are rather tough to keep, not because of aggression but because they prefer extremely strong flow. What size is the 200? is it a 4' Deep Dimension? Do you only want one tang?

I've had an Achilles before.

I'd prefer to have 2 of different species.

I am open to other suggestions, not just the two I mentioned. I do not however, want a yellow or kole tang.

Do you have any fish in already?

I have a Purple Tang and Blonde Naso in my 240g. I like Tomini Tangs when the orange on their fins is bright. Achilles are beautiful, but tough to acclimate and keep.

Just one fish...a deep water snow bass.

You posted it on the showoff thread - VERY cool! I have never been impressed by bass but that's neat!

Gold Rim Tangs (white cheek tang) are also pretty cool. I like mine alot.

Sailfin Tangs are also pretty nice.

Purple, convict, and tomini tangs are pretty nice, and IMO, the hardiest of the tangs.

I don't have a tang yet but when I get my first one im getting a yellow eyed joke tang, they have big personalities in my opinion

 

[Saltwaterwill]

I meant kole sorry
