Tangs, Tangs, Tangs
Hello,
I have a Yellow Tang doing hunky dory fine. I have struck out with PB Tangs (3 of them), I am done with them. I would like to get another tang of some sort that would be about the same size as the yellow (adult size). Any opinions about any particular species? Thanks, Don |

How big is your tank?

Purple or a gem if you can afford it and of course your tank size will rule any decisions

Kole tangs add a lot of personality to the tank and are easy to care for. If you're looking for an acanthurus, like the powder blue, you can look into the convict tang. I never kept one personally, but I've heard good things in terms of their care.
If you're willing to move outside the tangs, you can consider a species of foxface too.

Purple tang. A small Chevron tang would be fine in a tank that size for a LONG time as well. White-tail bristletooth tangs are cool as well.

I recently got a lavender tang and it has become my favorite. My PB is a fat monster but the lavender has a different look that I really like.

Purple tangs are pretty awesome and similar in size to the yellow tang.
