How many tangs in your tank?

[yoboyjdizz]

Alot of these questions come up all over the place, as for me i would like to know what does work for you when it comes to tangs. If you could list how many tangs you have (and what tangs are they), how long they been together, when they were introduce and how big your tank is that will be great! Any pictures are welcome!

I have Chevron, Yellow, and Naso together for past 6 months in a 450 gallon. The Chevron and Yellow do a little sparring each night before bed, but not that serious. They got into it pretty good when I first added the yellow, but there wounds healed. The Chevron seems to be the most territorial of my group.

Love the combinations... Thorr 7 tangs in your 220? I was thinking 4 in my 280 was pushing it.. Any things you did to make this work or do now to keep aggression down and everyone happy?

double post...

keeping them feed helps alot. many people feed their fish once a day. You need to feed them atleast twice a day. Its like if you dont feed a child for a long time he becomes cranky. Tangs do the same thing. this what I have done and have no aggression issues and like i said before over two years and counting. good luck
