kole tang aggression

[jpun1]

i have a cole tang that has been in my 125gal reef for two years now and want to add an additional tang (sohal or yellow) but am afraid it will terrorize the new addition. he's been aggressive to other newcomers in the past. any ideas on how to approach this situation? thanks!

DO NOT ADD A SOHAL!! Tank is too small and most become holy terrors as they age...have been known to kill tankmates!

A Yellow should be able to handle the abuse, then will probably end up boss. Add a yellow that is slightly larger than the Kole

Have you tried it? Do you know that it will be a problem?

Just have a plan with what to do if the kole does beat on the new fish. I have found that bristletooths get along together OK for the most part.

I am not a sohal fan either.

Forget the sohal. Mean,mean.very mean!

I've got a yellow with my kole in my 240, no problems.
