Naso and Blonde Naso in the Same tank?

[Mangodude]

Is it possible to keep a naso tang and a blonde naso tang in the same 125g tank? (I would really like to upgrade to a 180 but haven't found anything suitable yet) The size of the naso is about 5 inches. I don't know what size blonde I'd be getting but nothing full grown.

I'm just wondering if the Naso and the Blonde Naso would fight due to being in the same family. Most sites say not to keep two fish in the Naso family together but I have a 6-7" Naso vlamingii and the 5" Naso Lituratus and they're both happy and never fight/show any signs of aggression.

Does anybody have any experience with this?

Thanks

In a 125 already have a Vlamingii and a Naso? Those fish are to large for that tank by themselves, let alone adding a third very large fish in there. I certainly hope you have plans to relocate some of those fish when they get to large.

Noone will have experience with that fish combination in your sized tank because it is horrendous husbandry and inappropriate stocking.

I think if you refer to these suggested sizes you will find that you should probably not add any more fish until you upgrade. With upgrading a priority.
