    i'm sure i'm not the first to mention this, but hopefully, you're planning to upgrade to about 150 gals from your current setup for these three fish alone. tangs are REALLY prone to "cabin fever" (especially A. leucosternon), and their health often degrades as a result of being cramped.

    I've had mine for about 5 years. They are beautiful. But be warned: they are ich magnets (they will be the first fish to come down with ich should something happen) and after they settle in - they will rule the tank. I can not have any other tangs, or fish close to his size, or fish shapped like him. I probably should have added him last! But they are truly awesome fish. Make sure you feed lots of vegetable based food - this fish must have his vegies. Dried seaweed every few days will be much appreciated.
