Really? Want to keep them happy and healthy with enough swimming room. Haha

I don't think so either. The only thing I see as a potential problem is the female rhomboidalis which there is a possibility will turn male eventually. I'd actually add another pyramid. They look cool schooling?

Thats all dependent on how you scape. Dont over do on the rock and build plenty of caves.

Cool thank you for the sound advice

I have a very similar amount and type of fish in my 180 Gal. I find feeding often and on the heavy side the key to keeping aggression between my Black Tang and Sailfin Tang to a minimum.

Let's see some pictures of this overstocked aquarium. :lolspin:

Argh I wish! For some reason I can no longer upload pics. Never had an issue until this year. Other sites work and I'm good with uploading pics

Thanks Kenny. Mine have been ok so far, but yes they do flash and chase each other sometimes. Same as my flame and pintail against my lineatus. Hope aggression go's down soon.
