Mixing tangs

[TereKers]

Hello,
I have a question about mixing tangs, now I know usually you can't bring in certain tangs because of aggression. However do a yellow and kole tang mix if they are introduced into a system at the same time? (Wondering because I know they of the same family)

PS. This is for a new 125 system.

Thanks in Advance.

Those two are of different Genus so they should be fine. It would probably be best to add the Kole first, let it get established, then add the Yellow. The Yellow is the more aggresive of the two

I second the above.

The thing about adding more then one tang to a tank is having tangs of different shapes and sizes. Mixing tangs from the same family isn't always a problem if you select different sizes as a pecking order will develop. You also need to know which tangs will cause problems in the long run and either introduce them last or not try and keep them with more than one tang.

also I would wait and let your tank mature for a while... say 3 months or so.
