Poll - Favorite Tang

[AdamNC]

There’s just something about that black and orange on an Achilles Tank that I’ve always liked. Honestly doubt I’ll ever have a tank big enough for one though.

Big fan of the Powder Blue Tang but waiting until I have a large enough tank to buy one.

I love my powder Blue Tang, but I would like to have an Achilles Tang one day!

Purple, I upgraded my tank so I could finally have one but with COVID restrictions you can’t buy them right now. Well, my LFS said there are captive bred ones available for order, but would be $800 for one fish! Apparently gem tangs are cheaper and easier to get than purple tangs now... A guy can’t win.

Yellow and Scoops. Would love to have a Gem, Purple or Koi later down the road

I just paid $300 for a 5 inch Purple Tang, prices are definitely up.

I love the atlantic blue tang. Pictures don't do them justice, in person the blue is insanely intense, even under normal lighting. Made friends with several of these guys snorkeling.

Under blue light, I love my yellow tang, even though he's super common, especially since he tends to keep his fins on full display:

The only fish I don’t have yet is the wrasse

Love my Gem Tang, just wish it would stop growing lol

I love my Mustard Tang, not a very common tang either

ugh I miss my mustard tang. It ended up jumping the tank one night and found it on the floor in the morning. Such a cool tang with awesome personality.

What? That’s wild! It’s usually the other way around.
