Default favorite fish

I just got my dream fish, a Black Tang! Now all I need is a Jewel Tang! Any one got any ideas on how to get that one by the wife?

My favorite dream fish for beauty wise is my King angel, I love her colouration but I hate her mean personality.

She's also known as a passer angel but she's not passive at all and she does act like king of the tank....

I have a blonde Naso with my Sohal... The Blonde I got about 1.5 months ago, and I guess I have been lucky as my Sohal doesn't bother him.

Be careful though, Sohals are aggressive... Mine was very aggressive when I first got him. He harrassed my foxface, nipped his fins badly, but as the Sohal grew up, this went away.

I also contribute his aggression to his diet. Dennis at Golds had him on pellets and mysis, etc... But when I brought him home, I could only get him to eat algae sheets. It took many months, but have him on everything now, and since he started eating pellets, his aggression went away. I guess I have had him about 8 months now.

Otherwise my showpiece along with the Blonde Naso! Both very beautiful fish

My favorite would have to be the Powder Brown..
I think the important thing is that burgerchow recognizes the optimum requirement for tangs is a 6 foot tank and is taking steps to get a larger tank.
It would have been better to wait until he had a tank large enough to accommodate them.
Most reefers honestly plan to upgrade to larger tanks. The problem is that sometimes things happen that change their best intentions like, a new family addition, a move to smaller housing, unemployment and perhaps even a divorce or separation. The tangs are then left stuck in an unsuitable environment.

My favorite would also have to be a Power Brown (A.japonica) (the one with orange on it)
