I have only had one tang, a Sohal, and I can attest his hardyness. Isn't skittish at all, in fact, sometimes i give him a swat on the tail when i am playing in the tank because he won't get out of my way!

As for getting along with tank mates, umm, just fine if you only want one tang . But the way I think of it is, would you rather have 2-3 Hyundais or one Ferrari?

If we are talking about hardiest and aquarium suitability though, I would say the yellow tang or the scopas wins hands down.

If a Sohal is a farrari, then what is a Regal, or a Naso?

I sense a new debate coming on!!!!

Careful people! I think the Tang Police are monitoring this thread... hopefully they never see MY tank!

Mark & OCDP I think you guys gotta get together & smoke a fatty... then you'll both experience REAL reefing!

Personally, I think I'm gonna get a Sailfin and try it in a 2g nano... I heard somewhere they're fine as long as they can turn around....

People! This is a hobby board where we ask questions and learn from each other! If we flame people AND are too sensitive to a little criticism then maybe it's time for Ritalin? You guys have a nap and get up on the OTHER side of the bed next time...

Anyways - I have had a Yellow, Purple, and Powder Blue for over 18 months... and woe is me if I dare stick my hand in the tank without food! A cleaner wrasse seems to keep them all free of parasites... but that's a whole other can of worms...

*INSERTS SPOON... STIRS!!!*

Not sure but about the Regal but I would say the Naso is a cadillac. Beautiful, reliable, but huge!

... not that Sohal's aren't big.

A Achillies is a hard one to keep if you get them relaxed to the tank very timid.

And my Kole Tang loves to eat from the glass...
