Thats a tough one, it would have to be between a Lipstick and a PB.

too many to pick a favourite.

i'd love an achilles tang but love my sohal, purple and powder blue equally. would love a gem tang too but that's more snobbery than anything else :D :D

yeah I do like the achilles and the lipstick as well, but I don't know about a powder blue maybe like scoob liking the gem I don't like them as much for snobbery, - there always available. but still there a tang so I do love them all

I would love an achilles and a gold rim but I think I probably have enough already

yeah, commonly called a pygama tang, do a search for acantharus lineatus. beautiful fish but can be very very aggressive to other fish, particularly other tangs. needs loads of space as will rarely stop zipping around.

my favourite tang will be the orange shoulder, full of character and not really that aggressive at all....

SCOOB

i also have a convict tang, as far as useful fish go he's awesome, constantly grazing, least agressive fish in the tank and not too common.

I've seen the convict tang and quite liked it. It's a bit different from most colours of marine fish,but I've never had the luck to see one up close!

SCOOB

I have a Powder Blue, Regal, Pyjama, Yellow, Yellow Eye and Sailfin already, but would really love a Lipstick and an Achilles.

Not sure if it is

1) Greed
2) The Other Man's Grass Being Greener
3) The fact that I adore Tangs!

I like to think it is number 3!

SCOOB
25-09-06, 11:02
hey phil, :D i have a powder blue, regal, Sohal, yellow, convict, sailfin and purple emperor.

i think i'm a mixture of 1 and 3, more 3 tho i hope :D

Probably my Chocolate Tang it looks simular to a naso now.i rescued it from a tank that had two regals in with it, that turned out had lateral line desease and didn't make it.It still changes colour when he,s upset, but he comes to the front of the tank when i come into the room and he feeds out of my fingers.
i also have a regal and a purple in a different tank.the purple is the boss even though he's a bit smaller,and the regal is his side kick,he's the bigger dumb one.
Cheers Mike

I recently bought a juvi carribean Blue tang so I guess that is my favourite. Others that I would love to have if I had a bigger tank are achilles, gold rim and powder blue tang.

My Favorite HAS to be my lipstick - Elvis :D He feeds from my hand and is sooo inqusitive it's un real he's in 99.9% of the pics taken. He's certainly not camera shy.
