Butterfly or Tang?

[carrie1429]

Ok somehow I got my mom to agree to me getting another salt tank, amazingly And I am getting around a 75-100 gal tank (FOWLR) and I know I either want a yellow tang or a long nosed butterfly, I didn't think I could have both right? Anyway what fish would you go with? Or if anyone has any other experiences with other tangs or butterflies please post your opinions

long nose butterfly all the way... tangs are tooooo prone to getting ich... the long nose butterfly is a great fish i have one in iy 90 gal and he is fun to watch... very hardy and eats just about anything

I used to have a long nose (in my 84 gal I used to have), but lost all my fish to an ich break out so after about a year I wanted to try another large tank. I was kinda leaning more towards the butterfly but is it possible to have both in a 100 gal? They do look kind of similar but they are different species. Anyone ever keep them together before?

I nearly bought a Long Nose BF today. I went in to get one but came out with a Emporer Angel. Dosn't that always happen. LOL
