Purple & Yellow Tang Compatibility

[glenlikes_stuff]

Hello, do you think it would be fine for me to add a Yellow and Purple Tang to my tank (at the same time)?

It's empty at the moment, should I add these first or last?

6 foot tank / 180 gallons

Thanks.

They might fight they might be fine. The purple tang is usually more aggressive so get a smaller specimen or add it after the yellow. I think tangs are best added after the tank is somewhat stocked and established.

I don't know aout mixing them I have never done that but if I were going to add a purple tang it would be the last fish to go into the tank. Also I agree with the above advice wait until your tank is more mature before adding tangs. Also qt them first I have a 125 and I wish I had done that from the beginning save yourself some headaches.
