naso i think would be okay. i almost had mine eating outta my hand.
or maybe a sailfin.

+1 on the naso, very passive fish. Also hippo will be a good choice too, but watch out for ich cause they are a magnet for it. My ultimate pick will be an achillies...I freakin love this fish, but buyer beware, very hard to keep.

I disagree with all recommendations......hippos, nasos and sailfins get way too big for a four foot long tank.....IME...and achillies dont get huge but seem to do best in large tanks...think about a yellow, purple or scopas....all beautiful fish that dont need a swimming pool:wink:.....

Oops, didn't consider the tank size, just thought about temperament. My bad.:redface:

My kole does great in about that much water. Not sure about compatibility though as I've only ever had the kole.

Consider getting another fish other than a tang because of the size of your tank.
But if you are really into tangs it is a good reason to upgrade to a 6 footer.

HEHE, oh boy Doug's going to blow :biggrin:

Sohal is a great fish, but they do like to swim and the tend to be too aggressive. I myself have one and love him. I got lucky and he is passive, but he does like to move when he wants to. My tank is 5 ft long, but I do have the width and depth also.

While not a tang, foxface's get along well with most tangs and even aggresive fish usually leave them alone.
