My favorite was a powder blue til I put one in and it had brooklynella (not sure on spelling) and killed every fish in my tank! I would vote for....wait for it...wait for it....a scopas, because it's THE ONLY ONE I've been able to keep!
not a popular choice I know but for some reason tangs don't like me or my tank

What's so bad about the powder blue? Everyone I see posts about it getting ich or disease and killing other fish. No one QT and treat? I've had loads of fish with ich and velvet but they don't hit my tank without qt and treatment. What makes the powder blue so different?

What? No Chevron?
Happy to say that I have a MAC certified clown tang from Quality Marine. Its been almost four weeks and he is looking alright, no visible damage from the other fish, and is now starting to even show an interest in eating pellets. So I voted clown because he is my favorite right now. Hopefully all continues to go well with him.

Kole Tang #1! Why?
1. Doesn't need a huge tank, mine is very happy in the 93g 30x30 Cube tank.
2. Doesn't show any agression to any other fish in my tank (no other tangs)
3. Very active and a graceful swimmer that doesn't bother any of the corals but loves to eat algae (not green hair algae though)
4. Loves to make my cleaning the glass time very difficult as he swims around the scraper and eats the algae that falls off
5. Eats everything~ Pellets, flake, Loves Nori

Convict Tangs only have a grand total of 3?! I have a convict tang trio and I love them! They're hard workers when it comes to eating algae, they don't take up a lot of room, and they're peaceful!
