    Considering all tangs have a high risk of white-spot, I believe that the Blue Tang or Hippo Tang would be a great addition. I have 2 of them, and they are great with corals in my experience, hardy, lively, love to eat and add a nice splash of wild colour into any tank!

    Good Luck with whatever fish you choose, all tangs are great! ;D

    Regards,

    I'd like a mustard tang, or a Gem tang... Too bad I'll never have that kind of cash... Powder Blues are the best looking and peaceful, but so hard to keep. Powder Browns are nice too, and quite a bit hardier than the Powder Blues and I will most likely have one after I finish my new tank.... The Hippos, get HUGE, and are aggressive. Not to mention that I have seen relatively few that didn't get Ich at least once. They often survive, but they seem prone to disease. Just my opinion, nothing to back it but that's how it seems from my side of the fence.

    Gem tangs are gorgeous! I too wish I could afford one of those and a black tang but, alas, I am of the working class :)

    Not only that but even if you had the money, why spend it on something that isn't going to make you breakfast in the morning???
