Nearly fell for that one. Tony damn near has that many tangs but I know they're not all the same!

Depends which tang you want to buy... Some probably shouldn't be in anything less than 200G, while other smaller ones I'd recommend 75-100G.. Some people will preach 6ft minimum till they die, while others will say 4ft is OK.

Awww ... come on now. I have more ...

Can't take credit for the school of convicts .. Linda took that at a gem of a snorkel spot that she found on her own. I was resting from my own dive trips at the time so I hope to check it out myself maybe later today. The other pictures she took include an incredible specimen of dussumieri tang.

These are mine though:

Lavender tangs..









This is the only yellow I managed to snag on camera yesterday on my dives:

I think I have others from snorkeling but I have to sort through some 800 pictures to find them!! I've been going nuts with the camera this trip.

Naso..


Orange shoulder..


Striated..

I dont have pictures of my tangs in my tank.

In my tank i have
- 1 Kole Tang
- 1 Yellow Tang
- and 3 Hippo Blue Tangs (They are all very happy tang Police )

My setup is a 6 foot long Deep tank @ about 165 Gallon Display and 90 Gallon sump. Everyone is very happy. Ill try and snap some pictures.

But in the meantime here is a great yellow tang picture i took Diving a Few Weeks ago off the Big Island in Kona.

Dont have a stobe yet, so my colors are washed out.

I went from having 7 tangs in my set up to now only having these two,

My Sohal tang aka Scar face


My Regal tang aka Dori


I really miss my blonde naso (who mysteriously disappeared) and my clown tang who died in the M.V. outbreak. I think if I were to add another it would be one of those or a cheveron tang.

Thanks for all the wonderful pics! I have to live vicariously through all of you. I am new and have a 44 gallon. The LFS told me it was room enough for the hippo and yellow tang I wanted. After much research I discovered they are not the smartest people at my LFS. So until I upgrade, Thank you for the pics!
