Butterflyfish are so underrated, I 100% think people should breed these saltwater fish like the clowns, we could have such cool hybrids and very hardy fish. A dream
I have 2 blue tangs . One is 12 yrs old , other one was already very big as someone donated him to the store. I paid only $25 for him in 2019. They are so cool, fun eats, like pigs. Yellow tang, I had for 6 yrs before he died... I love all tangs.. they are incredible 😍
I enjoyed watching your video. It may have just been my luck, but I found the two clown tangs (not owned at the same time) to be very aggressive. So much so, that after bullying a naso tang to death, I moved it to the sump until I could re-home it.
@@BrockLeonard The clown tang is one of my favorites, but not with my current fish stocking (Naso, hippo, purple, foxface, various wrasses (copperband once he gets out of QT))
I have a blonde naso I named Mr. T and I absolutely love him. He is shy at first but sweet and so good with new fish. He is probably my favorite next to my maroon clowns, ruby and garnet. My dream tang is for sure an Achilles I just love them! We are going to finish off with tangs after I get one and a regal blue. Unless I am able to find a Hawaiian yellow then I'll be finished with tangs lol but I do love these fish they're awesome
@@BrockLeonard he is a beauty. And even better than the beauty are the brains on him. But my maroons, they're my babies. I love that pair so much. They're wild caught with such deep magenta like purple red coloring. Classic white/gold stripes. They just look so beautiful with their anemone rock and cave. They have 4 bubbletips and a cave set up facing their bubbletips. Its honestly better than tv, I watch my 125 gal reef tank more than my tv haha
Squaretail Tang is a great alternative to the Kole Tang. Squaretail is easier to get and has the yellow eyes. Main difference is the squaretail has dots throughout its body whereas the kole has dots on the face and lines on the body. Both great small tangs
I'm living in an apartment and just started my journey in the aquarium hobby with a 5g and 10g guppy tank. But my goal is to eventually move out to a house and start saltwater and own as many tangs as I can because those are my biggest obsession fish🐠
I'm lucky enough to have some tangs myself. Just got my Naso as a very tiny one. Fortunately for me and him, the tank is big enough he can grow till his full potential. Love him because he loves swimming in front of the tank, a real threat. Also have the Yellow Belly Regal Blue Tang (he was still super small getting him didn't realize it was a yellow belly but he's great) and also got the purple tang. They all doing great together, swim often as a group around together with a Foxface. Love getting them smaller and see them grow. Next for me on the list will be a Bristletooth tang. Really love tangs.... so far they all went in peacefully...no issues as long your keeping different types.
Every tang in the naso genus is awesome. I have a blonde, two vlamingii, and a brevirostris. Highly recommended if you have a large tank. They eat like pigs and are super peaceful for a tang.
Zebrasoma are absolutely gorgeous I have a yellow and got my baby before the ban so sadly wild caught but as a very young juvenile they are so big now and I’m upgrading my tank to a 180
Scopas have honestly been the most hardy and most trustworthy tang I’ve seen people buy. They look great, they aren’t too aggressive, and they eat quick too. Gotta love em!
The problem is that I want one of each. I'm making headway. There was some tail chewing but its calming down now after a month. Its hard to believe that I'm have real trouble finding a medium sized 10-12cm Hepatus in good shape. Only babies or adults with ugly scaring from holes in the head.
Have a gem tang! I could never ever ever keep a clown tang alive. Never could get them to eat. I know it's hard to include all tangs, but you missed my favorite! The chocolate tang. Yellow/Brown/Orange, it's got colors to hard to pass up. As adults, they have these beautiful streamers that you typically see on angels. They're not too common at the LFS, but pretty good priced
Could make a list which tang should be in the tank first and with size recommended, eg first the Letter Six small or medium, along with Scopas, small size, etc. This to avoid them to hurt each other. Thanks.
What minimum size you recommend for one powder brown ? I want one no other fish maybe a pair of clowns but. Really just want a powder brown with some torch corals I have
Hey Brock, Love the vids keep it up! I looking to add either a Orange Shoulder, Naso or Clown Tang to my 5x2.5x2 mixed reef. Which would you choose? (Current stocking: Scopas Tang, Blue Tang, clown pair, Foxface, Cleaner wrasse & 6 line wrasse, Tommini Bristletooth Tang)
Can’t thank you enough for watching. My preference would be the clown tang. Mainly because of how peaceful they can be with tank makes. A naso will be much more aggressive toward tangs already inhabiting the tank.
Thank you for the video!! Looking to get #20 & # 1 Have a Blue and a Yellow eye right now in a 270. Any advice adding them to the system? Blue is king 👑 for now.
I dream of setting up a tang gang tank. I probably can only get a 125 gallon I'm gona have a sump but don't know wat would be the best ones to keep together I was thinking hippo tang, tomini tang, yellow tangs. Any suggestions on what would be a great mix around a hippo tang?
Thanks dude. I'll give it a try soon. I know each fish can have its own disposition and its always a bit of a gamble. But positive reinforcement is always nice.
Sadly not, their skin is what makes them so prone to it. The best way to avoid it is to dip them upon shipment and quarantine them in copper before going into the display tank.
Most of the tangs we get on film are fresh from shipment before we get them beefed up with frozen and seaweed. If you have any differing info please share it for the thousands of reef hobbyists to learn more and more!
Oooh! I would love a list for Angelfish, Butterflyfish, Damselfish/Clownfish, and wrasses too! This is good!
Butterflyfish are so underrated, I 100% think people should breed these saltwater fish like the clowns, we could have such cool hybrids and very hardy fish. A dream
definitely wrasses
@@Peterrdee I’m not gonna breed butterflyfish
My favorite tang is the Poon Tang. Beautiful specimen. You left it off your list unfortunately.
Mine too!
I was not expected this comment but man it had me cackling XD
@@BrockLeonard the name of the blue tang is dory
Hahahahaha good comment
😂 that was effin hilarious !
The whitetail bristletooth tang is my new favorite. They’re rare/hard to find and absolutely stunning!!
ive got a tomini and it is literally the most aggressive fish i’ve ever kept. it’s an absolute terrot
Those whitetails are a beauty!
Dang! You got a feisty one for sure.
@@burritolord3044 I had a Tomini, super super friendly fish, what size tank do you have?
My whitetails to shy hard to get a long look in 😢( he's a beauty now😊
We are catching Convict Tangs here in Durban, South Africa in the rock pools for our aquariums. Powder Blues are also here.
No way!!! That is awesome
Really liked this long-form video do more of these.🤗🤗👍🏻👍🏻
Love Me some Yellow Tang!!!! All were
Great!!! Awesome Presentation 🐟🐠 Thanks for Sharing!!!
The wu-tang is a good one too it’s not easy to fuck with 😂
Ayyyye!!😂😂
@@BrockLeonard 😂 hell yea
It wasn’t on the list, but I love an orange-shoulder tang
Been looking at a few Tangs for my tank and this helped a lot! Can't wait to find a perfect one for $150!
That was a GREAT video! The Naso Tang is definitely the Top Tang.
Wow. There are some beautiful Tangs in that list. Great video!
Great video Brock
I love my yellow tang! I scored one before the ban and it’s about 4” now
Gah lee you are so lucky!
You should do a all about for an undulate trigger, and a Threadfin snapper
Both solid suggestions. Will add them to my list.
What's up Brock love and enjoy your content and videos keep rocking it bro👍
Would love to see more about the black tang
I’ve yet to see one of those in person 😫
I love your videos Brock, keep up the great content!

Thanks for the video I really enjoyed it, lots of information and a great list of tangs
I really appreciate you coming by to watch!

13:51 ACHILLES TANG

My favorite is Achilles Tang. The pattern is so unique
Now I want one 🐠
Gotta love a top 20 video!

I have heard of this on many occasions. Clown Tangs are the worst unless it is a very large tank. They have been known to slash other fish.
That can be the worst to deal with!
@@BrockLeonard The clown tang is one of my favorites, but not with my current fish stocking (Naso, hippo, purple, foxface, various wrasses (copperband once he gets out of QT))

That is a perfect plan! This will also help you weed out some of those first timer mistakes too. Let me know if you ever need help along the way!
I have a blond naso, blue hippo,a powder brown and a mile tang. They get along great and love nori
I'm lucky enough to have some tangs myself. Just got my Naso as a very tiny one. Fortunately for me and him, the tank is big enough he can grow till his full potential.

How bigs the tank looking to upgrade
Great job Brock !
Lavendar Tangs are criminally underrated
They are a beauty!
Rarely see them in Miami sometimes they have that beautiful purple
Wow brock.. clutch!! Im just now looking for a tang gang!!
Heck yeah! Glad I could help
5:25 - Scopus Tang is my favorite, very kind towards small fish like damsel or nemo. lol!
I recently discovered the Short-tail bristletooth also called the Blue-lipped bristletooth, Ctenochaetus cyanocheilus.
Any tangs you can keep in a 30 gallon
Great video. I was hoping that the mustard tang would have been in the list. I have been considering getting one.👍🏾
Those are a nice looking tang, I haven't seen one of those in a while!
I love orange shoulders especially when they are bright yellow and vlamingis are cool to and unicorn range!
Every tang in the naso genus is awesome. I have a blonde, two vlamingii, and a brevirostris. Highly recommended if you have a large tank. They eat like pigs and are super peaceful for a tang.
This was a great tutorial!!! You do an awesome job
Thank you so much for coming to watch, Kimberly!!
My favorite tang is the Fowleri tang😊
Zebrasoma are absolutely gorgeous I have a yellow and got my baby before the ban so sadly wild caught but as a very young juvenile they are so big now and I’m upgrading my tank to a 180
You should do an all about trigger fish
Who is everybody's favorite tangs? I want some more answers! 😏
I don't know what it is about the scopas, its my favorite tang. I think its the fade in the colouration. Its just something else in my opinion
Scopas have honestly been the most hardy and most trustworthy tang I’ve seen people buy. They look great, they aren’t too aggressive, and they eat quick too. Gotta love em!
My yellow tang survived velvet. I was impressed how hardy he was.
Yeah my purple tang was the only fish to survive a velvet out break in my tank
The problem is that I want one of each. I'm making headway. There was some tail chewing but its calming down now after a month. Its hard to believe that I'm have real trouble finding a medium sized 10-12cm Hepatus in good shape. Only babies or adults with ugly scaring from holes in the head.
Yeah the juvenile sizes were about all we can get at the shop
Fantastic video top ten wrasse to keep together if possible would be appreciated thanks 👍
Great great GREAT suggestion!

That would be a mimic tang!
can we have angel and tangs only in same tank?
My sailfin tang is the most aggressive fish that I have in my 180 reef tank
I love Fish
meeeee too!
You have some real beauties there. 😍
Could make a list which tang should be in the tank first and with size recommended, eg first the Letter Six small or medium, along with Scopas, small size, etc. This to avoid them to hurt each other. Thanks.
But which one is your favorite??
Naso all the way
Are Tangs the same as Surgeon fish?
Got my 210 up and running making a plan
How do you put the beautiful and hardy Dejardin sailfin tang at #20? It should be in top 10 at least. Probably too 5 actually.
11:47 DORY!!!!!!! 11:56
What minimum size you recommend for one powder brown ? I want one no other fish maybe a pair of clowns but. Really just want a powder brown with some torch corals I have
Do a video on triggers
Hey Brock, Love the vids keep it up!
I looking to add either a Orange Shoulder, Naso or Clown Tang to my 5x2.5x2 mixed reef. Which would you choose?

@@georgef5968 YOURE KIDDING!!! That’s a destination on my bucket list
We don’t have a lot of space for a big tank I have space in my room on my book shelf for a small tank
have any suggest for tomini tang tankmate bro? my tomini always beat the creature i add after him except the pixie hawkfish.
Oh Brock! You forgot about the White Tail Bristletooth Tang!!! 😜 Are they a peaceful tang?
Thank you for the video!!
Looking to get #20 & # 1
Have a Blue and a Yellow eye right now in a 270. Any advice adding them to the system? Blue is king 👑 for now.
PLEASE MAKE TOP FOR ANGEL FISH
Love this suggestion! Thank you!!
Does anyone know the name of the purple fish at 13:11 next to the yellow tang!?
The djardini sailfin tang has cloudy eye.
I dream of setting up a tang gang tank. I probably can only get a 125 gallon I'm gona have a sump but don't know wat would be the best ones to keep together I was thinking hippo tang, tomini tang, yellow tangs. Any suggestions on what would be a great mix around a hippo tang?
Good video, I’m in the process of restocking after going fallow after velvet. What would your best tang for disease resistance.?
I have a 4 inch Niger Trigger in a 90 gl. What is my best bet for a Tang who can hold his own with him? Was thinking a Tomini or yellow eye kole?
Both I think would be solid picks. I personally have a Tomini in my tank and have absolutely enjoyed em. Tough but peaceful at the same time.
Thanks dude. I'll give it a try soon. I know each fish can have its own disposition and its always a bit of a gamble. But positive reinforcement is always nice.
I want 3 for my 120!!!! What would be a good mix?
I have a 220 fish only i got 3 tangs in tank now V. tang, blue eye kole tang, sailfin tang I got a powder tang in QT i like add can i ? thx you
It is worth a short, just stay aware of their aggression between territory.
@@BrockLeonard thx you am going to move rocks if it does not work i will get a 75 gallon tank to put him in with other fish
I have a yellow angel fish in a 220 fish only can I add a one more angel fish thx you
Is There tang that are not prone to get ich? Its the reason I dont have a tang yet
Sadly not, their skin is what makes them so prone to it. The best way to avoid it is to dip them upon shipment and quarantine them in copper before going into the display tank.
@@BrockLeonard thx for the answer Brock, I love your video, continue your amazing work
Blastomussa coral please
Just posted for ya!
scopas tang is the best imo
10:30 "#6 we have too many tangs" lol that's what I heard, new to this, don't know actual name of this fish, what is the actual name of this fish?
No. 0 @Thanga
Were the vampire tang
👍
Thanks for stopping by!
Naso ? Hardy ???? Are u sure ?…I’m just asking because I have been told different for years
Kinda can’t believe a purple tang wasn’t on the list
I think you missed it, it’s number 10!
@@BrockLeonard was it? Damn kids distracted me lol sorry
Lol my kole tang murdered a sailfin I tried to add after my yellow tang died
I think u missed the black Tang,
Gaaaahhhhh I haven't seen one of those in a while. They are beautiful!
Best spa/acro please
Great idea!
I want to love this video, but you didn’t double-check the spelling of the fish you presented to us.
Dang it😂 editing mistake on my end haha. Thanks for watching the video tho!
How do u spell #14? Stopus tang??
Scopus! 😁
You forgot the morish idol
I wished you had time stamps!
Solid idea, I'll keep it in mind in the future!
🐠🐟
Thank you for watching!
Orange Shoulder gets no love.
Nice vid but you forgot to mention drawbacks of specific species
Or is it on purpose?
when i got into saltwater i got my yellow tang for 20 dollars
Isn't that crazy?!
Chocolate Tang
Oooooo love those
A couple of things, why are the tangs in the video all skinny? Also some of the info is wrong!
Most of the tangs we get on film are fresh from shipment before we get them beefed up with frozen and seaweed. If you have any differing info please share it for the thousands of reef hobbyists to learn more and more!
150 $ for a yellow tang is crazy? in my country a juvenile costs 500 😐🔫
There is no way you can find a yellow tang for 150$
I agree. Not a wild collected one. Biola sales them for 150 but I heard the captive don't fair as well
Me and my blonde naso watching this knowing what number 1 is
Ayyyye 😁 that’s what I’m talking about
Tang are expensive 😞😞😞
You ain’t ever lied
