So I picked up this little guy on Friday. I never really saw the big fuss for these nor why they were so pricey. I did a little research and found that they can help clean up my tank by eating detritus and algae. Ill giver a shot. Juvie colors are awesome as an adult it gets dark almost black, seen some pics of an adult and they're not bad looking. I'm sure he'll grow on me as time goes by. Graze on my little buddy.

Sweet looking tang. Always wanted to get one of those.

Thanks Steve
He's one of two tangs in my 180. The other is a 4" Achilles. After acclimation I put the Chevy in the tank and the Achilles picked on him for awhile. Now the little guy holds his own, after a short chase he turns right around and chases the Achilles. Hopefully this aggression ends soon and they get along.

Cool, hope they work it out and one doesn't continue to beat up the other. I used a mirror to keep one down at one end of the tank until the other was acclimated. W/o the mirror the established tang would have definitely killed the newer tang. Sounds like yours are working it out!
