I would be concerned about if the size of your tank is adequate. Biff had to get rid of hers because her 240/218 was too small. Alexander has one too; he says he will upgrade too. Just something to consider.
ok this is my personal FAVORITE fish! i'll tell you one. my vlamingi loves me and i love him. his name is woody. every time i get near the tank he approaches me i move right .. he moves right.. i move left.. yup he moves left.. i feed sea weed, yup you guessed it he eats it out of my hands.. i've gone as far as sticking my hand in and petting him.. ! it's amazing.. so yeah if you have doubts.. DONT. get one.

My vlamingi, Jill, did outgrow my 240. She was over a foot and a half long when I had to get rid of her :( They grow huge, so buyer beware. But they are super awesome fish for sure.

If you know anything about me you have undoubtedly read my love for vlamingi tangs and how jack is the coolest fish ever. And how they are hands down my favorite fish. They can live to be 35 years old. I would grab one as a juvenile. It will save you money and buy you years before you will need to upgrade. Jack is slightly cramped in my 180 but still very happy and he is ten-ish from what I know. I do know this, I will never have a 6 foot or larger tank without a vlamingi unless its a ceph tank.

The way you all describe them it's sounds more like a dog or cat. I wish I had a tank large enough for one. I would so love it. :(

But my Purple one is so purdy. The Atlantic Blue maybe...
Heck it would be too expensive to ship!

I'd like a 1000 gallon tank so I could get one of every kind! That would be cool.

The Great Tang Herder
That would be very cool. I wouldnt mind one of every kind myself. Ill just have to settle with the more popular ones :mrgreen:

the purple tang is one that i have been thinking of getting for my tank but i just dont know yet. i think tangs are some of the best fish you can get.
