    I'm looking into getting a tang in the future. I'm doing a lot of research on the topic and would appreciate your opinions on which tang to get! Please vote. Thanks! :)

    P.S. My tank is a 90 gallon mixed reef.

    Here is a picture of the Indian Gold Tang. They are very rare. This is a semi-adult picture. As juveniles they are bright yellow with bright blue edging on the fins. They grow to about 5 inches. [​IMG]

    I like purple's mainly because they have the same shape and personality as a yellow which is secretly my favorite fish.

    i said purple, however its probably not the best choice...
    your tank may be too new to sustain a kole tang? idk depends on nutrient levels. the regals can get realllly large and then that leaves the purples... which are usually really territorial so you prolly want to make sure its the last fish!

    given that your tank is mature enough and can handle a kole tang then as a few ppl said above, its your best one
