Looking for rare but colorful or bright tang.

Looked at the Chevron but as an adult they become a little dull. Also looked into the Achilles tangs.


What i have now is a yellow belly hippo, dejardini sailfin and yellow.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Tank size?

2 of my favorites have always been the chocolate mimic. And the purple. However you already have a zebrasoma and truthfully if this is for a 120 I'd say you are really close to being tanged out if your not already

Achilles are somewhat rare (due to being not cheap and harder to keep than most tangs) so that meets your needs, plus they dont get super huge.

I loved my dussumieri tang and you dont see them much in the hobby, same for the fowleri tang.

I hope you have a pretty big tank since you already have three tangs.

I'm looking for a Powder Brown tang at the moment. Whitecheek are nice too.

I love the Achilles and Sohal but my tank is only 180gal.

If you got a healthy specimen, an Achilles Tang would love your 180. It might be (and should be) the last fish you add, but it would probably work out. lol Same for the Sohal, as long as you plan an upgrade in the future or know someone with a bigger tank when it gets bigger.
