Add another tang?

[hkgar]

I currently have Yellow Eye Kole, Atlantic Blue and a Purple tangs The Atlantic is the only one that is a bit aggressive but only towrds my Two Barred Rabitfish and mostlye at feeding time. They get one large Romain lettuce leaf dauily.

I would like to at a Powder Blue. Wht do you all think?

Adding a new tang to your tank could be a problem. The bickering usually calms down after a few days. When I added my yellow tang my kole would chase him. A trick I learned was To put a dressing mirror against the tank. My kole tang went crazy fighting himself in the mirror and now the yellow tang was able to adjust and left alone. Took about 3 days..

Having more then one Acanthurus tang in a tank might be asking for trouble and usually doesn't end well. I would only attempt it if it was a much bigger system and added at the same time.
how about a hippo tang or 3 yellow tangs (would have to remove the PT for a few days before adding them).

Yes but only if the powder blue is bigger so it can defend itself if aggression does occur.

I would guess that the atlantic blue and powder blue will hate each other. Sweet fish though. Let us know.

Might work at first until the PB settles in and then it will probably turn on the atlantic blue. I remember seeing a thread on clay-boa a while ago where someone added powder blue, powder brown and gold rim at the same time and it didn't go well.
If you decide to do it, best would be to remove the atlantic for a few days, rearrange the rocks and then add them together at the same time.

Decided not to do it. With all my SPS and growth rearrange the rock work is not even close to possible.

Here is tank and tangs

Gorgeous reef with really nice healthy tangs. I wouldn't risk it either.
