Help me to pick a fish

[sc50964]

Only got one QT, can decide which to get & I can only get one at these prices.

4” juvi chrysurus Angel, $200

6.5” sohal tang, $250

7” orange shoulder tang, $225

7” male blonde naso with streamer, $250

Knowing nothing about your tank this is my vote at those prices.

Orange Shoulder, “if” your tank is big enough, and he has nice coloration.

 

[Captain Redbeard]

I can’t whole heartedly recommend one without knowing the size, age, inhabitants of your tank etc.

But based off personal preferences, regardless of price. Always the angelfish.

Goes to either the 560G that has a bunch of established & large tangs and angels or the newer 180G that has a big 9” Angel & a 3” dwarf Angel

Get you a piece of cardboard and a sharpie and stand on a busy street corner with a sign that says "Need help paying for Reef Tank addiction", you will have all those fish in a few hours

I will counter that with don't limit yourself to one when you can support all four....

Good job.

I will also stick with the naso.

Get the sohal

Love the sohal…, good last fish choice but could also mean battle-til-death scenario with my 5” Achilles and 20” dussumeri.

Love the chrysurus…, probably the most difficult to come by out of this list…., tried two other times and it just didn’t QT well.

Love the naso too…, only concern is if it’s too gentle and will get bullied.

Orange Shoulder, “if” your tank is big enough, and he has nice coloration.

It does have good coloration. Never had one before. Wonder if it’s less aggressive than other similar tangs.

I'm a noob but I don't think the Naso would get bullied, I think they usually hold their own or dont get involved in the struggle for power at all.

A 20 inch long dussumieri?! Man you gotta show pictures of these fish! They sound beautiful and definitely beat that “Show Size” label, should be “Monster size” instead.

Orange shoulders are much more mild compared to their counter parts in that genus. They show a beautiful transition stage, what other tangs are in that tank?
