    Yeah I really like them too...so active and pretty.

    Plus I do love the schooling fish....my SW born Molly young are really cool in a group...of course that group is 25 strong :eek: ;D ...most are finding new homes though...I will only be keeping a handful.

    So the tang I'm leaning towards is still the yellow since it's colorful and fairly inexpensive.
    Was looking at the purple but with it being aggressive I ruled that out.

    Anthias are really fun (at least the lyretail). I think you would really enjoy them! They are super active and colorful.

    Purple tangs are gorgeous, but I've heard the aggression thing too. Yellow tangs are pretty mellow I think. (and cheap!)

    Yeah I'm trying to stay cheap for fish...but have to like it of course.
    If I see one like yours I may get that if it's semi reasonable...or maybe even if its not.

    I'm thinking Maldives Lyretail for the Anthias....and with only one tang maybe can get a group of 5.

    The anthias can be difficult to keep due to feeding needs, may not be a bad idea.

    Yeah I know...I feed some of my tanks 2-3xs a day anyway so no biggie(more for the fry tanks really)...will try them I think then if they don't work out get the 2nd Tang.

    But I also Like the Ignitus Anthias, and since they are smaller I could maybe get 4-5

    I plan to put a few wrasses in the 46 as I had a few fish perrish and so have space for them there and with this list am probably full for the tank.
