Okay just finishing up the new scaping and the GF and I are thinking of adding in a couple more fish. I want a jem tang or black tang but its a little bit out of my fish budget right now so thats going to have to come later...... so choices are as follow:

Sohal Tang
Achilles Tang
Clown Tang
Unicorn Tang
Powder Brown Tang
Goldrim Tang


I only want one it will be going into a 180gal reef currently inhabited by a Powder Blue Tang, 2 sixline wrasse, tiger watchman goby. Mix of LPS, SPS, & Softies. Which one of the tangs above would you choose?! I provided pics of each of them provided by www.Marinecenter.com

naso, powder blue, sohal and purple are my favorites. but in a reef tank i always recomend the yellow or at least one with that body shape, just always seemed to work best.
 
ehh.... Yellow Tangs are everywhere Im not really into them. Thats why I was holding off for a PBT first. If I do get the Achilles it will have to be added last, due to its aggression levels. Naso is a good choice I just rather a Unicorn if I go that body route.

i dont know i really like the colors on the nasos and the unicorns cost too much.
 
cost too much?! I can get 5" for 70 which isnt too bad only one Im worried about getting is a black tang..... If I ever do get one, LoL.

haha sorry i was thinking of a different tang i guess. yeah the price on the the purple and black tangs has really gone up! in fact everything is going up in pricing because the hobby is becoming more popular

well then what would you do about the clown or sohal... both are certifiable b!t(h3$ in most tanks...

MY choice would be the soahal but that's like my #1 favortie tang so... :D

I didnt mention them two because I was really deciding between the achilles and powder brown as I think they will compliment my PBT the best. Sohals are nice and im thinking about it nothing is concrete yet the GF wants the sohal/clown/achilles as they have the best colors to her, LoL. Thats all she looks at, "oh its pretty lets get that" doesnt matter if its a total A*hole its cute, LoL.
