    Ditto. They aren't cheap but they aren't too terribly expensive either.

    Ditto, ditto on the Tomini. Most colorful of the bunch (excepting juvie Chevrons, but then they don't stay juvie for long :) )

    I have an Indian Gold Ring bristletooth tang. Looks very similar to the Kole, but is spotted. Not super colorful, but if you like koles, it is a nice variation and is rare.

    I love convicts. I'm even considering a school of them in my non-SPS 175 gallon in my new build.

    However, while large convicts tend to be pretty bulletproof, smaller ones can be tough to keep. Additionally, they need A TON of grazing food to stay healthy. It is amazing how much of a piggy one can be.

    They are really cool fish though. After seeing a bunch on my trip to Kauai late last year, I'm kind of hooked.
