Default Regal Tang vs. Yellow Tang

Even though I would get arrested by the tang police, what would be better for a 46 gallon bow front tank? A Yellow Tang or a Regal Tang.

Tangs are my favourite and I would love to have one.

Why do you think a yellow tang is better?

Are there any tangs you think would be suitable?

Well, I don't think either tang is suited for a 46G bowfront. But if you were going to disregard the advice given....definitely don't put a Regal Tang in a tank that size. A yellow would do *better*.

I don't think any tangs are really suitable, to be honest.

A small Yellow Tang would be OK as long as you can commit to upgrading your tank size when the fish grows. Happiest fish in my tank. Spends the whole day cleaning rocks.
