Best Surgeonfish to form shoal in aquarium

[milkman55]

We have a guy locally that has a large group of yellow tangs in a 300 gal DD, but I believe he added them all at once and they were juveniles when they were added. I think it's somewhere between 6-10.

I have three yellow tangs in my 210. I added them all at once and they were juveniles when I did so.

Thanks, Steve

Convict Tang - great idea guys :thumbsup:
Thank you.

I will add all the 3-4 fish at the same time and I will try to get juveniles.

Tangs will co-exist in a big tank. But if you're expecting a "shoal" (like FW tetras); that ain't gonna happen. Even tight shoaling SW fish will fill all corners in any home tank and still be in the same "shoal"; as far as they're concerned. A shoal of tangs on the reef will occupy thousands of cubic feet.
