All of them. Wish I had the tank and money to have them all. Right now I have a yellow, scopes, and a powder brown.

I agree, with the exception that I wish I had a tank that I could at least have 1 lol. My 40 breeder cannot accommodate any tangs :( And I don't have the funds to go bigger at the moment.

I also wish I had the space for tangs. I just set up a 60 gallon and that’s still not enough. One of these days I’m gonna have to step up and get 120g
I was hoping one day to get a 75 as the kole tang needs at least a 70. That's literally the only tang I want. Hopefully one day :)

I just like the demensions on the 120 mainly the front to back distance but yea that much more water is a commitment to the cost involved. that’s why I’m gonna have to enjoy the heck out of my 60g for awhile haha

I love surgeon fish I would only have them in my reef as they serve great purpose! Do you love tangs as much as I do? Which is your favorite and why?

Tangs are my favorite fish family as well. I've currently 11 across the various tanks in my system. I have all of the zebrasoma genus (well, if one considers the two Sailfins as one), two from the Naso genus, and one each from bristle, Acanthurus and of course the ubiquitous hippo/Regal. My Achilles died last year after many years, so at some point I'll likely get another. That'll be it for tangs.

As I noted earlier, the polyzona (zebra) is my favorite, followed by the Chevron (mine now sports adult colors) and the Achilles.

Loved desjardinii until recently he destroyed my beloved CBB. Never thought the two would have a problem. More so the desjardinii had a problem with the CBB :(

@Rellikeno

Does your Vlamingi eat nori or any other vegies? Ours won’t touch em, to the point that I may name it Ron Swanson.

Sorry five five six didn’t see this post.
He eats seaweed, krill, and occasionally when I give the volitan and the puffer a goldfish snack he always steals one. Other than that he’s picky.
