Question
I HAVE A SALTWATER AQUARIUM WITH A LARGE PASSERS ANGELFISH,BLACK MORPH DOGFACE PUFFER,SNOWFLAKE EEL,AND I WANTED TO KNOW WHICH ONE IS A BETTER CHOICE FOR AS COMPATIBILITY WISE THE SOHAL TANG OR THE SAILFIN TANG.MY AQUARIUM IS 48-24-30,AND ITS 150 GALLONS.

Answer
Hi Alaica. I would recommend the sohal tang. These are one of the most aggressive members of the tang fishes. They are also very hardy and extremely disease resistant which makes them a great choice for your tank with its more dominate species. The sailfin tang is nice but can become ill a little easier if stressed out. Which is definitely a possibility with the fish you have. They are one of the least aggressive of the tangs and they don't get as large as the sohal tang does.
