My personal favorite is the powder tang. I also love sailfin tangs. if you are upgrading in a year or two I would get what you want.

Sailfins are cool i just got my desjardini(sp?) sailfin off here about a week ago and he's healthy and eating like a champ!,but i would recomend upgrading because these guys get massive

I have had my Sailfin about 10 months, and it is 6"...And probably 6" from top to bottom when its fins are open....It was probably about 3" when I got it.
My yellow tang seems to be a slower grower....she is probably 4" and was 3 when I got her

Scopas tang. They don't really swim back and forth like other tangs do. Make. Sure it has lots liverock to graze on.

i LOVE the purple tangs. dont know if they have a magic scientific name, but i love them.

Kole tang. They stay smaller and arent as aggressive. I have one in my 75. Very active and gorgeous fish

At the moment, the best tang is the Kole. Unfortunately a lot of people plan for that bigger tank, and it never comes. Get the big tangs when you are cycling the big tank, IMO. A Kole would be fine, IMO, long term in a 75 so you are safe even if things to work out on the big tank.

Blonde Naso Tang. Not aggressive but gets big. Very unique look.

I LOVE my Scopas Tang!!!!! Great personality, a little territorial, but not aggressive.

Im gonna go with either the Kole or Yellow tang. Havent decided which one yet.

Go with the Kole

I bought a Kole from a LFS in Spokane a few weeks ago when I was out there. It's only about a 3-4 hr drive but it didn't make the trip home

So I am sticking to online orders from now on unless on of the LFS's in Missoula adds SW fish to their menu

 

[brokendeck]

how about the blue spotted kole? I really like the colors on that fish. Could I still get the blue spotted?

 

[oceansidefish]

Any of the Kole's would be fine....A purple would as well

you have to get them to put actual Oxygen in the bag. That is how they make overnight shipments to your house.
