multiple Yellow tangs

[alex gonzales]

Has anyone ever done like four, or five yellow tangs together in one large tank? will they school? I really like the yellows and set up a large tank, and was wondering about this. let me know, thanks.

many people have done it, I'm sure you can find videos of them...
I believe most recommend odd #s ...so 3 or 5 yellows...
I have multiple tangs in 2 of my systems...1 has 3 yellows...they are together most of the time

Yes, just be sure you introduce them all at the same time to reduce their territorial instincts.

 

[Vince272992]

ya that would be fine just add them at the same time

 

[Vince272992]

and make sure they are all about the same size

Alex, I have 3 in my tank and they get along most of the time. One of the YT is clearly more aggressive than the other two and does chase them around sometimes.

+1. i added my two at the same time.

Do you think a 90 gallon would be too small for 2 yellow tangs?
