The spotted cheek or Acanthurus maculiceps is a bonzer and of course the black one is cool too. LOL

I only have the orange shoulder. Speaking of tangs though did you guys see the white spine tang on liveaquaria? I wouldnt mind having one of them.

Orange Shoulder

Absolutely love the colors on this tang! Very nice!

Thanks for this subject Joe. I have not added a tang to the new tank after losing the small spotted cheek and orange shoulder due to ick after the tank upgrade

I am still on tang time out until May 1st.

Dang Mark- sorry to hear that, be sure and get them tangs kent zoe and supplement their food right away so they can recover faster from the ship. I got my spotted cheek where you got yours and threw him right in with the big dogs-the zoe really helps as long as they eat.

Joe- how big is yours? Mine was around 2". It was a cool fish, but my lack a patience cost it's life.

So far, I have narrowed my list between a Naso elegans, another Acanthurus maculiceps, another Ctenochaetus truncatus, a Acanthurus olivaceus, a zebrasoma rostratum or one other. I like fish, but I do not want to overloas the tank as I still am thinking of adding a spotted rabbitfish alongside my magnificent foxface.

KEEPERZ · Apr 26, 2008

yep-mine is the small 2-3" one also, my tomini and powder blue went after him for a couple days but he held up, I really believe if you can get a tang to eat and you supplement, ich will be beaten, that white lip/spine looks sweet!!! I know rabbit fish and foxfaces are real good workers, but they get too large too quick for my taste.

orange shoulder. Bought at about 2 inches in october. He is now 5-6 inches

feeding frenzy

hippo, blue eye kole tang, and scribbled rabbit

KEEPERZ · Apr 26, 2008

the blue eye kole is a good worker I bet!!

cl2ysta1 · Apr 26, 2008

he is a serial snail cleaner!!!!

actually he is the only worker in the tank. all the other tangs/rabbits are worthless. spoiled
