Nice tank! I followed your Idol thread and am glad the remaining one is eating well and putting on weight.
Did you put lipstick on that tang?
beautiful fish and it's great that you give those tangs so much room. How big is the Naso tang now?

That is an amazing tang!! Looks like a Dussimiere (sp?). OK, that one just made the running. I'll check the other site and take a look at that. Thanks.

I had the Bariene/Blackspot Tang on order and changed my order last second, I was afraid if I didn't get the Sohal I would regret it
I knew I probably couldn't have both, so I have the Sohal.
The Bariene come in from Australia (i.e. they are captured properly), and from what the guys (at that other website) said do very well in captivity. Less aggressive than the Sohal, and get more and more beautiful with age.
I think Goodwin has one in his huge tank.

I am going to get one of those 3 fish but I'm not quite ready yet. I've had the idol for 3 weeks now and I have a rule that I never get 2 fish in a month, (unless I get them at the same time). Since my last purchase was an idol, I'll probably wait another 3 weeks before adding another fish. But at that time I will probably get one of those.

i definitely like the rays man, when we do our dream tank, we're doing rays and sharks, i think, if they can even be put in the same tank LOL

Yes they can be in the same tank, provided that neither is large enough to eat the other. If I can find the ray, that may be the smartest choice. It would probably be better to add the ray earlier, rather than adding it after I have a tank full of fully established, territorial tangs.

well, our wish tank, lets just say, its gonna be ginormous LOL im talkin well over 1000 gallons lol, but again, that one is like 15 years down the road, but, we're already designing the tank, stand, and whatnot, so we know what we want, how we want it done, and so on, so hopefully by that time, we'll at least know what we're doing with fish LOL. and yeah, ive heard tangs can get nasty, but those blue spot rays, those guys are gorgeous man, you cant go wrong with one of them
