Acanthurus nigricans and Acanthurus japonicus

[remi0181]

I would like to add these 2 fish to my fish stock. They are very similar, will they attack each other? If I can only take one of them, which one do you recommend me.

Inches? Centimeters?

Also, what's already in the tank?

Inches or cm i would say no. Just one of those. Whats your current fish stock?

I honestly wouldn't add either of these in that length of tank. These fish love to swim A LOT. If I were going to choose one, it would be the Powder Brown, but all depends on what else is in the tank.

Its a new start after crashing the old tank.
This is wat i want totally;

5x Mirolabrichthys Evansi

1x Acanthurus Nigricans*or acanthurus japonicus
1x Zebrasoma Flavescens

1x Siganus Vulpinus*

1x Chelmon Rostratus or Pygoplites Diacanthus*

5x chromis virides

1x Cirrhilabrus Rubrimarginatus
1x Macropharyngodon Meleagris
1x Paracheilinus Mccoskeri

1x Valenciennea Puellaris*
1x Amblygobius Phalaena

I would only choose one of those tangs. The white cheek or PBT could actually work, but it would be the only tang you'd want to add. The regal angelfish and foxface get pretty large, so you have to think of them limiting the swimming room as they grow.

If it were me, I would either have only 1 tang (no yellow tang) or get a yellow tang and possibly a mimic or bristletooth tang, something that stays a bit smaller.

Here's a great list that was created regarding tangs: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1946079

I have a powder brown. I can't imagine it tolerating another tang, especially not a similar looking tang.
