They are, but as they get older they lose the coloring
Agreed. For the amount of money spent just to have them lose their coloring it's kind of a rip off.

I agree with the Kole tang. It's a beautiful fish and eats algae all day long. I also like Powder Browns and Purples. Those 3 would likely mix well too.
I've had a yellow, brown and Kole at the same time and they were good buddies.
I have a purple tang and a spotted yellow eye tang in QT right now for a 120 gal tank and will add a gold rim tang after, but may get a Achilles tang instead.
Will dokeep me posted please
I hope that is a long 120 because my Achilles swims and swims and swims. when not swimming he is thrashing at everyone.I have a purple tang and a spotted yellow eye tang in QT right now for a 120 gal tank and will add a gold rim tang after, but may get a Achilles tang instead.
My Caribbean blue is the same way. Was so small when we got it and now is a bully! The only tang out of 6 that it doesn’t bother is The hippo tang which is larger. And it swims swims swims! 6”, 300gal. Two large caves for hiding/sleeping. We have redone the rock work 3x for agression and removed 5 other tangs and relocated to other tanks due to the agression. Purple and tomini moved to 93 cube doing fine, scopas moved to 180 fo with Sohal doing absolutely great and unfortunately we lost the naso not eating and the powder brown got ick.I hope that is a long 120 because my Achilles swims and swims and swims. when not swimming he is thrashing at everyone.
beware, you could get a chill Achilles or you can get an absolutely psychotic one.
Absolutely! He’s nice! How big of tank and how big is he? Gets along with others too?I love my sohal because he just has this curious look on his face.
I also would like to get a tang but I only have a 100 gallon tank that is 4' long so this may be a problem. I want a tang to help with the hair algae on a few of my corals, not horrible be a nuisance none the less. I also have a pair of clowns, midas blenny, purple fire fish, mandarin and a anthias. I actually wouldn't even care if it meant giving up a couple of the fish. Any opinions for my circumstances?
he is around 7 or 8" in a 6'x3' sps tank 260 gallons or so. he is not to be messed with but he doesnt seem to be that aggressive. I am keeping an eye on him though. They are in QT right now and he and the Achilles are the only ones NOT hiding...Absolutely! He’s nice! How big of tank and how big is he? Gets along with others too?

update for everyone, I decided to go with a Blue Eye Kole Tang, my lfs just got it in today, went to look at it and those eyes are beautiful. They are gonna hold him till tuesday as i wanted to make sure he was eating before taking him home, super excited
Super cool! Good choice! Post pictures when he gets into his tank!That's a good choice, the Blue Eyed Kole (aka Two Spot Tang) tends to be a bit more docile than it's Yellow Eyed counterpart as well. If it develops the prominent light blue spots, it can be quite an attractive fish to boot.

You will enjoy him. I forgot if you planned to quarantine the tang or not? Sometimes it hard to see ick in the blue eyed kole and they swim really fast.Don't worry will do, I'm excited it's my first tang
