    Hey guys, I was just playin around with my camera and decided to go for some tang pics. I love tangs as I think they are the most beautiful fish (as a whole family) that we can keep in our tanks. They can be tempermental at times as far as up keep and PROPER care but I think they are well worth it. These are pics of my purple, yellow and leutenant tang. Thanks for checking them out.

    Very Pretty Tangs! If they were the kinds of fish, that a few flakes every now and then, would satisfy, I'd get one or two...but I really think I'm at my limit. You have 3 in a 55 gallon tank? Are you not worried about them outgrowing the tank?

    tangs are tough fish to keep. It bothers me that lfs don't tell people how difficult they truly are. These things need to be FED veggies not brine shrimp. My tangs eat a 2 x 8 inch piece of seaweed daily and would eat more if I gave it to them.

    no cutingras lol. The purple is about 5 inches long now and that gives you and idea of the other two. The purple had the worst case of hole in the head I have ever seen when I got him.

    awsome tangs and great pics. if you want to treat your tangs even more get two or more neon gobies.tangs love them at times after they have been togather for awhile ive seen them lined up to be worked by a gobie.
