i've had a yellow tang for 5 months, it has grown to about 5 inches, i got a naso tang at my lfs today that is about 2 inches. they told me that since they do not have a similar body shape they should get along. when i put him in it took a little while for the yellow tang to take any interest in him but now he wont let the naso in the middle of the tank. the naso is eating the seaweed that i put on the side of the tank he is on and is swimming around on that side. do you think that my naso tang will do alright? it's a 100 gal tank, i know that this will not be able to hold the naso once it gets larger, at which point i'll have a larger tank or i'll bring him back to my lfs. i am going to be changing my tank from acrilic to glass, but i don't want to do this right away but if need to get them out i can always change tanks sooner. thanks for the input

yellow tangs are know for their aggressiveness towards newly additions espically other tangs usually no harm will be done sometimes it could kill the other fish or stress it out til it dies if it continues more then a couple of days i would try to move one of them...yellow tang if u could and let the naso settle in but yes a new tank is in the need...

id say give it time. My yellow and naso are best buddies only took about 30 min for them to be friends. Mine are in a 220.
