Tang compatability

[Lenweideman]

Hey all. I am in South Africa, 250g tank 1 year old.
I saw a Powder Brown Tang today, and love it. I however have a Naso tang, Orange Shoulder tang and blue spotted foxface in my tank, will they fight if I add this one, he is about the same size as my current fish

i would try to find one bigger if you get one. powder browns dont do well when bullied so i would try a larger one to give it a chance.

Naso will likely leave the PB alone, but the Orange Shoulder will probably give it trouble. Personally, I always try to keep just a single Acanthurus genus in my tank.

When I had my orange shoulder he was 8" or so and was very docile for such a big fish even when I would add a Acanthurus tang to the tank. It's a calculated risk like most everything else in the hobby so it kind of depends on how badly you want a powder brown.
