I wanna see pics of gold rim, white cheek and powder brown tangs

[A\/enger]

Anyone have any good pics of theirs? I am trying to decide which one of the three I want. Right now I'm kinda leaning toward the gold rim.

If you have a large tank you will be really happy with a powder brown (Whitecheek) tang.
Do not even consider a goldrim tang which is similar but plainer and almost impossible to keep.

I don't think there are 3 types of Powder Brown Tangs. I agree with Naesco and others who say that Goldrim tangs do not do well in captivity. Do a search on the net and there are articles which state their poor health rate in captivity. I currently have a Powder Brown whitecheek and he does great; even feeds from my hand.. So, I would definitely recommend the Whitecheek due to it's demeanor and great color.

Hey, I couldnt get the link to work. Thanx, for the info guys, I was about to buy a gold rim tomorrow. I'll look for a white cheek instead. How come some books have a powder brown and thewn say "also known as: gold rimmed, white cheek...?
