when I get home mine is dark, he eats then he is happy again. My puffer actually will spit water when he wants food, I walked into my room last night about 3 hours later than I normally feed, he spit water and hit me in the face, then continued till I fed him. I guess he has me trained. It totally caught me by suprise. It was funny.

The reason I didn't get a Red sea is they are more aggressive (from the sources I have read). I am just trying to keep things peaceful. Of course tell that to my two females anthias.

I didn't want to spend the extra 40 bucks, 80 dollar fish vs 40 dollar fish, with simular markings, I chose 40 dollar fish.

I was worried about a sailfin getting too big in my tank. I have no clue what to add to my fishlist for a second tang. I really want two and have made up my mind on a powder brown. I have no idea for a second one because I want somthing peaceful, easy to care for, small enough so it wont outgrow the tank, colorful, and something different from the very common blue hippo and yellow tang.

What about an Achilles? They only get around 9.5 inches. I would like to get one myself, but I'm already maxed out with my current fish list.
Guess I'll have to wait for a larger tank.

My sailfin I think isn't a Red Sea one and it is tiny compared to the Red Sea. He grown a little, not a lot. Just make sure that it isn't from the red sea and he'll be fine. Also how about a lemon peel mimic tang if you want an unsual tang?

Achilles are supposed to be one of the hardest tangs to keep along with the powder blue and clown tang. I would also like to have one someday when I get my dream tank.
(5000 gallon cylinder tank
)

Well, sometimes I think you have to take what's known to be the "hardest" with a grain of salt. I know Powder Blues are also supposed to be hard, but I know several reefers who have both. If my daughter wasn't set on getting "bubbles" (Yellow Tang) then I would have gone for the Achilles. I think it all comes down to how well a person is going to take care of their tank. If someone is going to be bad about making the water changes then I'd say any "hard" fish would be out of the question. You sound like a person that will be on top of things so I for one think you can pull it off.
