Purple tang

[Red Sea reefer]

So today I want to my LFS and I found a very big purple tang they have like 5 of them they are very big and they are so cheap I already have a medium size purple tang , powder blue and sohal . In my 190 gallon tank , will it be ok if I add one of those purple tangs

I know it's risky , but I never do that before , I am asking what will happen and what are the chances of is will be ok or bad ??

chances are that more than likely they will fight to their death. I would never want to risk it with those beautiful animals

I mean I saw today 5 very big purple tang , 2 sohal tang and one blue tang in 100 gallon tank in my LFS and they seem to be happy so why is that ??

Can't speak to multiple purple tangs, but FWIW, I have had 2 yellow tangs in my 180 for 2+ years now, and both are doing fine.

I want to change what I said in your Tomato Clown fish thread. You won't have any alive clownfish in the next year.

He's not serious. And you know the fish store wouldn't risk that collection.
