achillies
powder brown
powder blue

Four tangs in a 150 seems like plenty already to me...besides you already have an Achilles, so what more would you want?

Personally, the hype of the Black Tang...I don't get it. They're only expensive because they are rarely imported due to being scarce in the wild. Why people would want a fish like that is beyond me. I say leave them in the ocean then!

Oh LMAO!!!! Even when I re-read, it doesn't seem particularly clear to me whether you already own those listed, or whether you're picking between them.

My vote is Achilles obviously...

If I was picking a tang for myself I would go with a powder brown. I love my achilles dearly but he really doesn't belong in a glass box

I've had mine for 2 years and except for the first stressful (for me) 6 weeks he has never been ill or bothered by parasites.
But my 175g bowfront is just too small for him, he uses up every available space and then some and he can swim fast. I must lose a gallon of water a day just from the water he flips out of the tank with his tail
