tang stocking Q for a 275g

[siropa]

I've got a 275 that is 8' x 32" wide x 21" tall. Only about 7' of the length is swimable due to an overflow at one end. Currently i've got the following tangs in there: yellow tang, unicorn tang, sailfin tang and a powder brown. The all are about the same size (4" or so) and so far get along decent enough.

In another tank I have a kole tang about about the same size. Think there would be a problem with adding him to this tank?

I don't think it would be an issue.

I would remove the unicorn tang. They aren't suitable for home aquaria.

You shouldn't have much of a problem. There might be some tail slapping introduction period, but nothing big. Good luck!

So if he were to remove it, then what do you suggest he do with it? Give it back to the store? There are smaller tanks at the store than the 275 in which it currently resides. Besides if it gets to big he can always eat it Just kidding...
