I saw this cute little bugger in the LFS today. Anybody have experience with one? He was a very skittish looking little guy. DrsFosterSmith says he needs a 70g, so I'm considering 'im. Any extra insights?

I think the Kole Yellow Eye is a very cool looking Tang but I have never had luck with them. Both got ich really fast and really bad. Both died withing 3 days in QT.

Ah, that's too bad. They are quite cool looking. Just watching him swim up and down the glass at the store, I had a feeling he was a little stress ball!

You might take a look at the Tomini Bristeltooth tang a.k.a. Flame Fin. Very similar in overall color but the dorsal and anal fins are a bright orange. The one I have is very outgoing and not shy at all. He lazily cruises the tank eating algae off everything. Actually, every Tomini I have seen at My LFS's seem to be laid back and not easily stressed.
