least aggressive Zebrasoma tang?

[Myles]

Which of the common Zebrasoma tangs are the least aggressive? I'm considering the yellow, scopas, and the two sailfin tangs. The tank is 10ft long and 30 inches wide with plenty of open space for swimming so I think it is large enough to keep one of the sailfins if they are the most peaceful.

My favourite out of those tangs is the red sea sailfin, however I have never heard anyone complain about aggression from a scopas tang. They are probably the most peaceful but I have never seen any overly aggressive yellow or sailfin before either. Out of those, I would go with the one you like the most

Sailfins can get quite aggressive as they grow - and they can REALLY grow! Scopas is probably the least aggressive, though with your sized tank I would def go with a Desjardini.

Scopas or Black tang.

 

[betamed]

purple is the most aggressive. In a tank that big I wouldn't be worried about any from this genus

 

[ingtar_shinowa]

Scopas. I have a scopas X black hybrid thats is super docile.

 

[Eville]

scopas or black tang.

+1

My sailfin does not like any new tangs. He is very passive to pretty much everything else.

 

[Yurivd]

Black tang is the most passive

 

[Myles]

No one has mentioned anything about yellow tangs or Z veliferum. Are they more aggressive than the Scopas?

 

[Dmorty217]

The sailfins are the most aggressive and get the biggest to answer the question. Least aggressive as in you want to have more that one? If that is the case get them all at once and all the same size for the best chance for little aggression

 

[snorvich]

Scopas. I have a scopas X black hybrid thats is super docile.

Yes. My vote too.

 

[nickandMK]

I love the scopas very peaceful

 

[mr.maroonsalty]

My scopus is territorial with its stack; as long as l've had it and as much as I like it, it may still have to go.

 

[Myles]

In answer to Dmorty I'm only planning to get one tang. Since I like the look of all, I'd just like to get the most peaceful. It's sounding like that would be the Scopas or if I want to spend the money and can find one a black tang. Thanks for the input everybody!
