Mixing Tangs

[rsantangelo3@co]

GOING INTO A 300 I HAVE A PBT IN MY 90. IF ADDED AT SAME TIME WILL A WHITE CHEEK PBROWN TANG OR ACHILLES BE SAFE OR WILL IT STILL BE WAR?

IMO, Acanthurus Tangs are much worse as far as mixing than even Pomacanthus Angels. I would only do one to a tank, even in a 300 gallon. THere are a lot of non-Acanthurus Tangs you could add.

even a sohal with a pbt? Different shape

Powder Blue, Achillles, Sohal, and Clown Tang are IMO amonst the most aggressive fish in the hobby, let alone Tangs.....You never know, but I wouldn't try it. If you have the opportunity to introduce them together to the 300, that would give you the best chance, but I still don't think so.

3 Vlamingi, 2 Naso, and 2 Unicorn in a 200 gallon.....Well alright then.

That's a lot of tangs. I remember you having an aggressive tank as well. Do you have pics of the 200g? I'd love to see the doctorfish, how big is it? I am getting a juvi tomorrow.

That seems very overstocked. How large are the fish? How long has the tank been up?
