Least aggressive Tangs???

[FishGuy5]

Want to add 2 tangs to my tank. What in your opinion are the least aggressive? I've heard that the "bristletooth" ones are the best, but which one specifically do you all recommend? Thanks for the help!!

Not a bristletooth but I love my Mimic .I don't think they are very aggressive. sorry about the crap photo!

kole tang is not aggresive

I have a sailfin, naso and hippo and none are aggressive at all. They are drifters on the reef and don't real occupy a patch like the powder blue and sohal. The ones that have their own little patch and defend it to the death are the ones you have to look out for.

My purple tang was more aggressive than my new PBT, which is doing great after 4 months.

Sorry for the brief reply, but I need to start "contributing to the community". Still trying to get my 50 posts so that I can sell items. The moderator re-set my post count because I made 30 bogus posts today. In fact, he re-set my post count to zero as a penalty! I was at 20 posts and now... It's been a long time since I have been 'grounded' - so silly.

+1 for kole tang. usually quite calm

all tangs seem to be aggressive to some extent, it is just a matter of what you can live with.

orange shoulder, tennenti, and all bristletooths

Not all tangs are agressive contrary to rumors. The non agressive tangs are considered as:

Orange shoulder, tennenti, bristletooths, hawaiian/blonde nasos, achilles tang

The aggressive tangs are: clown tang and sohal/red sea tang.

The rest of the tangs such as purple, yellow, powders, blue regals, etc fall inbetween with some being teddy bears and some being lions.

What is in your tank? How big is your tank? Just add the tangs in at the same time and nearly all the non agressive/in the middle tangs will all get along just fine. There agressiveness comes out with shortness of food and trying to add more tank mates after the have set territories

I've got a Kole and a Yellow living together in a 90, they get along just fine.

I'll throw Vlamingi into the mix (and hope I spelled correctly). Lots of personality and not aggressive at all - at least for me.

My powder blue and hippo were doing fine till 2 weeks ago.
Then the powder gave chase non-stop.
My old tank caretaker told me to add 2 more, and recommended one agressive and one non.
Well, they were added yesterday, and i'm unsure of the move.
