Multiple yellow tangs in QT, is it possible?

[BlackTip]

Can I quarantine 3 yellow tangs in 20g if they are 2-3"?

I'd like to add 3, but I only have 2 QT tanks.

Another question:

Is this fish combination too much bioload for my tank?

3 yellow tangs, 1 naso, 1 blue hippo, and 1 foxface + bunch of wrasses, couple of clowns, etc

Add two of them to one tank at the same time as one another then the third into the other tank . Should be fine.

yes, this is the second option. But, if I can put two together, can I put 3 together?

I am thinking, 3 could be less aggressive towards each other, and they may get acquainted and won't fight when I move them to the DT. Just my hypothesis.

My local LFS. Keeps multiple tangs at a time in a 40 breeder . I not sure howling they stay in the tank . But I think you should be fine with 3 in a QT. Just stay on top of water changes and keep an eye on the ammonia

I think you may be ok, but make sure they go in at the same time and make sure they are feed goo. You should a good amount of PVC in there for some hiding spots just in case.

20 H, 3 yellows no problem.

Awesome, thanks guys.

How about my second question.

3 yellow tangs, 1 naso, 1 blue hippo, and 1 foxface, 1 Longnose + bunch of wrasses, couple of clowns, etc

6 large fishes, that is my concern. Right now, my largest fishes are a Foxface, a Naso, and a Longnose. They are between 4-5". I'd like to add a Blue Hippo and 3 yellows
