Hey Red what do you think about Clown Tangs? Cant decide on sohal or clown or desjardinii. What would go best with an Imperator Angel. Give it a year or so and Ill join you in having LARGE majestic fishies.

PS Dont forget about Lionfish hes in you fellas club too.

Lionfish does not have angelfish. Our club is exclusively for those with NUTS big enough to care for angelfish. Tangs are great, but... angelfish are where it is AT!!!

Clown tangs have a survival rate just slightly above Achilles Tangs, which rate is just a step below a skydiver jumping without a parachute. I would skip the clown tang and go with the sailfin, for hardiness. they are nicer fish than the Sohal. Only a real man with "great skills" would attempt a Sohal.

BTW Ryan, remind me to show you a pic of my Sohal tang sometime

nice comparison there doc. that freakin cracked me up!

ryan I would say sohal, only because I'm not a very big sailfin fan. sohals incredibly beautiful fish. very aggressive, but beauty always comes with a price right? so are you willing to pay it?

[Doc]

I say Sohal as well. they are not as common in tanks as sailfins are (due to their cost and potential for aggression), but if kept with the right tankmates (him being smaller by 3 inches) he will pose no major problems, EXCEPT with other tangs. that part is just a gamble. Some will accept other tangs, most will bully them into corners and eventually kill them. Sohal's have the largest scalpel on their tails of any tang and they know how to use it! But their beauty....wow. Take a look at an adult:

i thought that was going to be yours for a minute..... then i looked down at the koran and was like .... oh nope

[Doc]

yeah, that sohal at Caesar's palace is even just a bit more beautiful than mine. Since I had a pic of it, I figured I would use it. Thanks for letting me abuse and Hijack your thread.

BTW, how did the cutting of the toadstool go yesterday?

[LionFish]

Dude go Naso!


they have all the beauty of an angel good for the corals and with 4 scalpals could KICK SOME ASS IF IT WANTED TO ~! lol

[Doc]

Lionfish, you know I have nothing but love for you. I have the utmost respect for your reefing talent. But let's face it. Nasos are the retarded cousin of the cool tangs. They are kind of pretty, but are not aggressive at all. a blenny could whoop up all over its orange and yellow ass. They are lovers, not fighters. they need 4 scalpels because they forget where their ass is and just flop about. Again, dude, I love you, but, Nasos just don't have what Sohals do

Vlamingis are the exception to the rule. They are not Naso tangs. Naso tangs are pussies. Sohal tangs kick ass, as do powerder blue / brown tangs. Vlamingis are in due to the coolness of their names
