Can I put a chevron tang with my yellow tang?

Hi I went to are pet store yesterday and saw a chevron tang at a good price. I already have two yellows and am wondering if I could get the chevron?:headwally:

How big is your tank?

In a 93 gallon tank, it would be inadvisable.

I had a blue, powder blue, yellow, and chevron all together in a 120 for 5 years and then they moved into a 180 recently and they were fine. However, they were all introduced at the same time so no one had established territories. Since this new tang is a late comer he will probably face some terrorism from the other tangs. I would introduce him with another fish or two that it divides the aggression of the existing tank mates, however, I don't know your tank capacity so in my humble opinion I can not recommend anything. You know your tank better than us!

They are a great fish. Love my transitioning chevron but those yellow tangs would be total jerks to a 3rd tang in that size aquarium.

I added my chevron before my yellow and glad I did.

Cheers,

Lots of dependent factors I'm afraid. I have six tangs in my 265 and the yellow is the most aggressive of the lot. When I tried to introduce a Naso some months ago, much larger than the yellow, it did not go well ....

Don't try it unless you want tang carnage.
