    Would like some suggestions on a tang for my 90, I have had a Yellow tang not sure that I want another.  I want something different with lots of color maybe????  Any help would be great!

    One that stays small, so yellow, powder brown, and powder blue. No Naso's, Hippos, sailfins or Sohals

    If it's a 4' tank I'd say you'd be alright for most as long as they are small when you buy them. I've had yellows, sailfins, purples, powder browns and blues and a kole in my 75's and my 120 without issues

    Have you considered a Ctenochaetus tominiensis (Flame Fin Tang) (Tomini Tang). I would also second the Kole tang...both of these stay relatively small (

    Convict Tang is one that grows to about 5 inches in length. It is also one of the more peaceful tangs.

    Well, just got a powder blue... just couldn't pass him up very healthy looking - about 3 inches. Looks healthy, eats and swims a ton. Couldn't be happier with the purchase, I hope to get another tang just not sure what one will be next.

    The powder might not take to kindly to having another tang introduced after it. I've heard that they get territorial.
