What size tank do you have?

For tangs I like PBT's a lot but (like any tang) they need space. Common and very Ick prone, but a cool charecter. I beleive that achillies tangs need extra large tanks and can be very touchy to get established.

My favorite fish is my CBB - again, common, and also quite touchy to get a healthy one and get it eatablished.

That frogfish (I think that was what it was) that Marc had at fishy buisness was unbeleivably cool IMO - maybe not so good with samller fish though, also not a swimmer, just fascinating to look at.

I'm sure others will have more creative suggestions, there are a lot of cool fish out there.
