Mixing Tangs

[Chago09]

I know the shape of the fish is what makes them the most aggressive towards eachother correct??? like if they are the same they will fight each other???

I want to have only two tangs in my 6 foot 150 gallon. A Unicorn Tang and a Regal Tang. I know the Unicorn gets big although I do have a close friend with a 1000 gallon reef who said he will gladly buy my unicorn when it is overgrown for my tank. Can these two fish be together in a 6 foot tank???? or are there shapes to similar??

Everyone has different experiences when mixing tangs, i had great luck for a good many yrs, and the only fussing was between my yellow and purple at feeding time. after about 5 or 6 yrs as they matured the aggression got worse between the two and eventually my Achilles got fed up with it all and took it upon himself to keep the yellow in check, he wouldn't allow the yellow out of the rock work at all. the yellow started to suffer from constantly being confined to his little hole in the tank and i had to take action to get him out.

if their colors are not similar and you add them at the same time...you should be fine

I have never had any problems. You also have a large tank which is good. If you can put in both at the same time it would be good though.
If you can't, put in the more agressive one last.
