question-
right now i have a 12" engineer goby, a 4" maroon clown, and a 4" algae blenny.
if you had a 195 gallon tank completely void of tangs, what kinds(3) would you get?
achilles, chevron, and purple?
tomini? powder blue?
perhaps a orange spot rabbit in the place of one?

 

[bgbdwlf2500]

personally id love to have a powder blue and brown or a few if possible

My favorite would be the achilles. How about a black tang?

Sohal is my favorite and next on my list. I also like the powder browns.

Have you considered a Hippo Tang (Blue Tang). They are full of personality.

 

[kurtymac]

powder blue tangs are awsome, however i heard that they dont do well in captivity

i think an achilles and a chevron should do the trick.
now for something blue.
regal?
powder blue?
atlantic blue?
purple?

X, I love the Achilles and had one that ruled my tank for 5+ years (plus the previous owner had him another 2)....They are wonderful, beautiful, active and personable fish. Mine was the most aggressive tang I have ever seen though, he was brutal to new fish, and killed a Yellow Tang I tried to add. Mark Martin (whom owns a rival online site) feels the Achilles is inch for inch more aggressive than even the Sohal. Just keep in mind an Achilles will likely need to be the last fish in and I would scratch the Powder Blue from your list if I were you.

I just got a 6" blue throat trigger a couple days ago. He is the sweeetness. a bit shy but i think my bicolor angel will have to give up the label king of the tank once the trig goes in.
