	Hardiest tang
pmdaggett Enthusiast Posts: 191 Kudos: 169 Votes: 1 Registered: 25-Jul-2004	In your opinion, which is the hardiest tang? This is the one fish that everyone seems to have a mixed opinion on. Thanks.

They are (according to TFH) one of the hardiest tangs, and great algae eaters, as well. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

However, it was an internal problem with the fish. Something like it had an internal blockage. So, my fears of tangs have overcome me and I ended up trading in the dead fish for an Ebili angelfish. Maybe some other day for the tang. *pmdaggett attached this image:*

Another tang that is hardy is the sailfin tang, but plan on a big tank as this boy gets 15 inches.
