you're right..... if you know 100% that the fish are going to kill each other and you purposely put them in to see them kill each other then of course it's wrong, but I'm sure (myself included) that none of us here are "tang experts" to know that 100% sure it's going to happen. in a 700g tank, with tons of rockwork and many many fish, I doubt the sohal will even be able to find the clown tang.

Your post is irresponsible, non-factual and not helpful in the least
my post is irresponsible how??? non-factual how?? and not helpful how?? come to think of it, your post is not very helpful to the original thread post question at all!!!! your post is just to talk smack about what i had to suggest to the original question. if you go back and read my post:
"700g, I'd do it, heck if I had a 700g, I'd try to put in 30+ tangs, keeping in mind that your aquascaping is designed for a lot of fish (no wall rock design!). Go with what makes you happy. get them both at a younger age and see what happens. worst case scenario, one gets killed. I know others will disagree with me, and I respect their opinion, but in this hobby it's good sometimes to go against the norm."
I suggested that I would even try to put 30+ tangs in a 700g tank (again it's what I would do, not you or anyone else, it's me.... besides if I had a 700g tank, it's my own business what I wanna put in there, it's not your business to know what I wanna put in there.)
I also told him that the aquascape had to be designed a certain way. Furthermore, I suggests that he should go with what makes "him" happy!!! I also suggested to get them at a young age (this is trying to help.... hello!!!) But I was informing him that they might kill each other (you didn't understand this part), and I clearly clearly clearly said in the last sentence that others will disagree with me (which everyone is entitled to because everyone has their own opinion, and I even said I'd respect their opinion on the subject matter, but not their opinion on my opinion). I then told him that it's good to go against the norm, which I think is cool cuss being a follower, and always copying people didn't get us to where we are today in this society, it's the guys who dared to try different things that got us to where we are.
anyways, back to the subject matter:
Like I said earlier, if you have such a big tank, you're pretty limitless as far as fish goes, just no whale shark
, but keep in mind if you like tangs (my favorite type of fish) then keeping a lot of them will be better. when tangs are in great number, they tend to forget to pick on one guy, and they can get along better (no research, just experience). When it's just two tangs, like one sohal and one clown and no other, then yeah they might fight a little bit if they were in a smaller tank. But again, do what makes you happy. If you're favorite fish is chromises, well then.... you're lucky cuss you won't be broke buying fish!!!:lol:
