ive thrown around alot of ideas for my 125 and everything seems perfect but i wanted to add 1 last medium fish for my tank.i want your opinions on which 1 to get.i have a non aggressive system so these are the fish i always wanted butnever owned.powder blue tang,naso tang and a foxface.now i have had success with many hard to keep species.ive owned queen anthias that survived for 3 years and some other species that lived for many years so the powder blue shouldnt be an issue.right now i have 1 blue throat,2 clowns,some cardinals,3 differnt wrasses and a copperband which is 4 years old and counting.i would like to have all three but 1 would be great

no tangs.only planning on 1 more fish.im not really into tangs except these 2 species.i also read on liveaquaria that foxfaces are reef safe with caution.i dont know of any coral or invertebrates they may eat.

If you have the experience then get the Powder Blue, keep in mind they are prone to get Ich especially if housed with a lot of tank mates.Next is the Blond Naso Tang.The Blond Naso have yellow on the back an active swimmer another beautifull, very hardy fish.

with over 1000 members and all i got were 10 replys.come on im very undecided and all will fit my aquarium i would just like some help
If 1000 members replied you would still be undecided as far as i see.Get a Naso Tang for crying out loud it will live longer.

see now you see the pros and cons powder blues are prettier but ich prone naso are nice but get very big and will probably outgrow your 125 they can get 18" and the powder blues are 1/2 that at max. If you don't plan on upgrading I would not advise the Naso.

like i said ive had expierence with sesitive fish.
Yeah, we all know you have experience with sensitive fishes, whatever that means but i think we all would like to know how the fish does. And maybe share your technique. Besides we helped you with your decision ,i personally lost a very beautifull specimen a few years ago in a 125 gal.
