I have a 180 FOWLR tank with 2 lookdowns (5" & 8"), 1 tusk (4"), 1 emperor angel (5"), 1 hippo (2"), and 1 lunare wrasse(3").
I would like to add one more (final) fish to the tank. I like the flagfin angel and the chevron tang. Please help me decide which one to get and tell me why.
BTW, I am upgrading the tank to a 500 in the next few months so the lookdowns can swim freely.

We just got a Chevron 3 days ago. Its absolutely beautiful! As to the flagfin, we were told to stay away from it, because its very difficult to keep. Both are beautiful fish for sure!

CHEVRON tang....great looking fish i would get that hands down, the only sucky thang about it is that it loses some of its color as an adult but great fish to have, since i cant afford one i got a rusty angle because it reminds me of one:happyfish

Sorry, Blemmy, but where is the flagfin? Its a yellow angelfish with a purple mouth. Nice Idol and Naso though.

That's actually a Heniochus is Blemmy_Guy's picture, commonly referred to as a Bannerfish, and I've also heard of it referred to as a Flagfin Bannerfish.
