PBT and Purple Tang

[hkgar]

I am considering adding the above mentioned tangs to my tank, that already has a Kole tang. My major concern is getting them through TTM together (I use 2 ten gallon tanks) and then time in the QT (a 30 gallon).

I think that my 180 is large enough for three tangs, but the 4 weeks before the DT is my concern.

What are the chances? I want to add them together to minimize aggression period.

Would adding them separately be a better choice?

I have all 3 in a 180, all put in separately, the PT was last. A little dancing the first week but now they are best buds and school together... No aggression at all!

My experience is that, all fish have different personalities. All we can do is try to lesson the chances of aggression between our fish. Make sure you have places to hide, good water parameters, and you can also do the mirror trick. Quarantine the fish will let you know if the fish is healthy before introducing them to your display, but if the fish stress they can still show signs of ich. I am a believer that ich is always present in a aquarium within your fish. I have a Purple Tang, Yellow Tang, Blonde Naso, Hippo Tang in a 220 Gallon Reef system.
