    Yellow tangs can do really well in a 65G tank. They are very common but they add so much color to the tank

    Edit: I missed the dimensions of this tank a 55G is actually better suited because it is 48" long. The 65G is only 36" long. For a yellow tang you need bigger than or equal to 48"

    Yeah, I decided 36" was just not enough for a tang...

    Apparently I also missed that!! Lol

    That's a really good looking flame angel :D
    Make sure you watch it like a hawk! They could become nippers!

    Thanks for the compliments guys. I passed up on a few looking for one with the coloring I wanted. Vibrant with strong blue accents. I think he is about as food as it gets for a 65g "show" fish.

    I hope he does not nip at my zoas or leathers.

    Very nice fish you got. I do like dwarf angles but I have had a lot of nippers.

    I like female Lyretail Anthias myself. They are so crazy orange with purple eyes. Fantastic looking.
