    I would like to add a purple and a yellow tang to my tank.  However I cannot seem to find a purple tang online.  Does anyone know of a LFS that has a medium to small purple tang?  Something to the effect of 2-4 inches?  I would like to add this at the same time as the yellow.  Also what are your opinions on the potters angelfish?  Have you kept one in a reef and what was your experience?

    I have acess to several of each- I am in omaha, however. If you come to omaha, check out aquapets or paradice coves, they both have what you are looking for. Or, if you like, I would be willing to get pics for you and have the pet shop ship them to you- aquapets has a very nice purple tang - call them and ask for Joe or Dillion- they will deal with you direct, if need be.
    You wont find more knowledgeable staff beyond these guys. Joe and Dillion really know their stuff, just be sure to catch Joe in a good mood, that is, if you want to deal.  [​IMG]  I think they are asking a $150 for the PT they have- it's a medium to large PT, YT's are usually $29 or there abouts.
    A word of caution, PT and YT will fight- trust me I have both, including blues as well- the blue's will rule, but the YT/PT are too close in shape/size to mix w/o intervention - UNLESS you add them in an already dominate tank society so they wont have to fight (pre-established dominence)- in my case, my blues did this for me.
    Just my take on it, and what experience has given to me. You can have many tangs, just size them correctly when adding them- and be sure they are healthy- cleaner gobbies also help to calm them- odd but true.

    SO I currently have powder brown and desjardini sailfin. They are both small, and I was hoping if I put in a medium yellow and a medium or slightly larger purple I would be ok. It is a 180 gallon Display tank. Davenport and Omaha huh? Seems far but I might have to make the trip!!!
