Different Tang Genus Question???

[monkey61672]

Researching which genus are safe to have in multiples and which Tang/surgeon fish can be together has got me all confused.
I have a kole and (had) powder brown but would like to add one more. Possibly a clown or Lopezi..

Is this right?

Tangs:
Ctenochaetus, own singularly
Zebrasoma, can be in multiples if added together and coexist with above.


Surgeons:
Acanthurus, ??
Paracanthurus,??
Naso, ??

Requirements are very similar for all members of the family Acanthuridae. All have a fairly hostile temperament to other fish and especially to their own family/genera. The larger the surrounding environment, the lesser the chance of raised aggression, however, there will always be traces of aggression between passing individuals.

Current Tanks: (1) 75gl reef, (1) 29 gl chalaupera/fish, (1) 45 gl ciclid, (1) 55 gl snowflake tank

I think the current tanks you have now are all too small for anything from the genus' Acanthurus, Ctenochaetus, Paracanthurus, Naso, and just about every other genus (you may get away with zebrasoma sp) and would not even consider adding any more Acanthurids. You will of course not take this advice as you obviously know whats best.

By the way, you spelt Caulerpa wrong.
