Thinking of a Powder Blue Tang

[hkgar]

Should I? I currently have a Carribean, Purple and Kole. The only aggressive one is the Carribean and that is only to the Kole and mostly just periodically letting him no who's the boss.

I am a bit concerned because, although individually they will all be ok in a 180, four in the tank might be too much.

My old 180 I have Hippo, Yellow, Sail fin, Power Blue, Squaretail and Brittletooth and they all got along fine. But then again

IMO, those 3 are already too much. Atlantic Blue and Purple will not allow that.

I currently have a Purple, 2 Yellows, and a PBT in a 180. The Purple chases the yellows off from time to time. Other than that, no issues.

Only caveat is that they have been together since tiny, and they are all about 1/2 (or so) adult size atm.

How long have the others been together? And how willing are you to tear the tank apart to catch a fish?
IMO, you should pass on the PBT.
I love mine but he is a bully and had to be removed to add new tangs and angels.
