adding yellow tang?

[J_Geisinger000]

I already have a yellow eye kole tang in my tank and I want to add a yellow tang as my last fish

my question is:
will there be any fight
are the kole's aggressive towards yellows

No dont do it, the yellow tang and kole tang look just like each other, just different colors, tangs notice the shape of each other and all the kole will see is another fish just like him. since tangs are very territorial, the kole will fight to the death to remind the yellow tang of that. Nothing good could come form this situation! Sorry, and good luck

Plus a 90g maybe to small for 2 tangs if they are both large!

I had a kole tang in my tank which I added in early because it is believed they are one of the less agressive tangs. Anyways, I added a flame angel, and he bullied it to the death. I added a yellow tang, and he kept chasing him all the time. The yellow tang lasted a month before it finally died. I finally got rid of the kole tang because I didn't want to keep an ugly fish that terrorized everyone. If you feel that your kole is mellow, then you might be able to get away with adding a yellow tang. As for compatibility, I think a purple tang (or gem tang, and few rare others) are the only ones who have a similar shape to the yellow tang and should be avoided.
