really nice looking tang

[Project Reef]

The neatest tang I ever came across besides baby gem tangs was a hybrid between a Red Sea Sailfin and Purple. It was amazing looking... just picture both fish smushed together. :D

BTW Greg, sweet picture! I've always been a huge fan of "top-down" fish pictures. I know we see top-down coral and clam pictures regularly but top-down fish pictures have always impressed me in a different way. Maybe we can start a thread dedicated to them... ;)

[gregr]

yeah! i got another top down fish shot a few days ago i'll have to post in that soon to be thread :p
not sure how rare these are but i don't see them that often:

Those are all absolutely gorgeous fish, Greg( of course, the pics are fabs which goes without me saying it :D)

Here's a pic of a tang, not so much as rare, just not very common I don't think. At least I haven't seen many pictures of them posted.
Ctenochaetus striatus,aka. bristle-toothed tang.

I like the first tang you posted gregr

Not the greatest photo, I'm not much of a photographer. But I rarely see these tangs in reef tanks, mimic and convict tang. Not because they are rare or expensive, just not as common or popular. They're great fish though, very mellow for tang standards.

Here's a picture of my black tang. I don't know if it's considered rare. He looks pretty well done to me.

I think those black tangs (Zebrasomas rostratum or something right?) are pretty rare. On www.marinedepotlive.com, they are selling for I think $259 :eek1:

Greg, were some of your tang shots taken at the LB Aquarium?

[gregr]

i think not- but i have taken more than a few pics there :p
and you reminded me- i didn't even look in the AOP folder.

[Konadog]

I was wondering if the first pic was taken at the first tank with the open top jungle.

What's up with the bird? A little different than tigers.

[gregr]

i have to run out the door in a minute, so this still need re-sizing, but lest i forget, from the Aquarium of the Pacific:

[gregr]

[brahm]

I had a Hybred Achilies, unknown.. but Sold it before I took a picture.

[The Yellow Longnose]

I glad to see i'm getting so many reply's.
Thanks very much Joe

[Tarasco1]

I'm surprised no one has popped in with their gem tang.

[brahm]

don't you mean the forever ich tang..

[The Yellow Longnose]

I heard somewhere that there was a blue tang that look like the yellow tang but blue ( not the purple tang) and i also heard there was a white tang that look like the yellow tang but white. If anybody has picture' s or has a link as to where I can see one please post
Thanks Joe

Albino? :confused:

[dendronepthya]

I have seen a picture of that. It wasn't all white. It kind of had a cow-like splotchy pattern. Strange looking to say the least.
