...tang? I have a 200 gallon tank and I'm in the market for some new fish. I was thinking a few tangs would add some color and movement. What are you'r guys's favorites?

I have a sailfin, yellow and blue hippo
My Sailfin is my favorite...I love when it opens it's top and bottom fins...they are so pretty.
The yellow would be second
And the blue hippo last....only cause it is skiddish and hides from me..LOL

I have a Powder Brown and Yellow. The PBT is my most favorite, it has great personality and eats from my hand along with the yellow.

i have 4 tangs and i love my achilles the most.
also have a chevron which is sweet but he is only 2 inches my achilles is over 8 inches.
tangs are just fun to watch with a 200 gallon you could have a few .

Out of the 2 that I have experience with, I really like the Naso Tang. It is not as agressive as the Powder Blue Tang and it swims upfront all day, not afraid and never hides. Very cool fish!

I bought a sailfin last night at a lfs. Haven't really seen much of her yet, she's just been hiding since we threw her in. I also ordered a yellow and a powderblue from swf.com they'll be arriving today. So thanks for the advice:)

I really like all the fish you guys named off. Thanks for the help! A couple of them like the achilles and sohal are a lil outa my price range. I picked up a sailfin at a lfs last night. I also ordered a powder blue and a yellow from swf.com. I was wondering with a 200 gallon would I be able to add a purple do you guys think? Or since I have two tangs from the Zebrasoma family? What do you think? Thanks:)

I wish you luck with them....I am guessing you didn't qt them first?
I don't have a qt...so I am not preaching....LOL...BUT by luck I did not have any issues with my fish
IF I were to start over....I would definitely set up a qt.....
Just something to think about

I just got a Naso a week ago. Swims and hides anytime someone goes up to the tank. But, if you catch him off guard and watch from a distance he is very entertaining. Only 3-4 inches right now. Can't wait for him to get the orange lips and tail barbs.
My favorite is the Purple. I thought about getting one, but I wasn't ready to take the financial risk yet with my aggressive Sebae clown. I've been lucky that the clown doesn't think anything of the Naso.

No, I don't have a qt. I did. I set one up put a fish in there. I just didnt want to have to keep up on doing water changes and ghost feeding n stuff. I figured I'd just take it down and see how things go. So far so good.

Yeah, I got a sailfin last night and the store also had a naso it was a friendly fish. It had some scratches on it's sides though so i went with the sailfin. I really like the purple as well...I'm hoping I can get one still.
