What Tang Should I Add?

[tbrown3589]

I've got a blue eye Kole, Tomini, Blonde Naso and a yellow mimic for nearly 2 years no issues with 2 bristle tooths. A yellow mimic will stay small enough for a 125. Just keep them fat with plenty of nori.

I was originally looking for a Yellow Mimic but gave up.

IMO, choice of one of these would be a mimic tang, yellow tang, or scopas.

Mimic is a maybe. My wife thinks Scopas are ugly so doubtful.

I'm hoping to add a One-Spot Foxface on Thursday.

I've been looking for a Red Sea/Desjardini Tang and considering adding one but so far my stores around have only had the Sailfins. What other tang should I consider or should I keep watching for a Desjardini?

Yellow
Tomini
Gem
kole

Either of these will stay smaller and are colorful

I like Kole Tangs. I used to have a Yellow Eye years ago in my old 75.

Tang Police are on the way!

I just know my kole is a jerk, lol. I put a mirror on my tank when I added a yt and had to take it down b/c my kole was attacking the "other" kole!

Already have a Tomini, can't afford a Gem, Kole is a maybe but with the Tomini I don't know.

I love my desjardini. He's super cool. Was a really chill dude before I bombarded him with wrasses. Now he's a little stressed and doing laps around the wave maker with the trigger

Laps around wave makers doesn’t only happy. In my system .. makes me feel a little better ….
I thought my trigger was losing his marbles

I have 21 tangs and tomini and Kole play very well together. My purple is the current tank jerk

Maybe I'll keep watching for a Kole Tang.

Another option outside of another tang would a female swallow tail angel. They are lookers and graze all day. At least mine does.

Interesting suggestion. How will it do with the Tomini I wonder? Mine's not overly agressive but it does chase the Starry and Lawnmower Blennies. It leaves everything else alone.
