Looking for a new tang

Breakthecycle2 · Dec 20, 2015

My total system is 250 gallon. Current inhabitants:

Pair of pintail fairy's
Katherines wrasse Male
Yellow Scopas Tang
Golden pygmy angel
Interruptus Angel
Caribbean snow bass
Cleaner wrasse
Quoyi Parrotfish
2 Moorish Idols
Green Mandarin

I'd like to add one or two more tang at some point. Really want the polyzona tang, but having a hard time finding one. Any suggestions for my size tank?

Anyone?

Maybe an achilles or an achilles hybrid would be nice. Or a gem of course. Would love to see that interruptus in a pic.

I had the opportunity to get a gem tang for a "good" price, but I didn't go for it.

I did. After being shut out on DD three straight times, NY aquatic had one.

I think a Black Tang will add color contrast to your fish collection

I had a baby regal and royal pencil wrasse in QT but regal died and the pencil jumped.

I had the same thought, but a gem would be cooler.

I agreed a GEM is super cool but I am thinking a juvenile 2" black tang which is a little easier to find than a small GEM tang.

Believe it or not, I can get a small gem right now. I jsut don't trust the store in all honesty.

You could get a guttatas tang - then the front half would look like a polyzona and the back half would look like a gem tang...
Sort of a poly when hes comin and a gem when hes goin.

honestly, I can think of a few places to get gems at the moment, but be hard pressed to find a single black available.
