Yellow Tang addition

[adunne]

Hello - im looking for some more input on putting a yellow tang in my tank.

Its a 75g established for about 2.5 years.

I currently have a goby and 2 clowns. The clowns are about 2 inches. the tang i was looking at is about 4 inches. I have heard that tangs can bully smaller fish. Do you guys see any issues with this?

My yellow tang isn't a bully. He stands his ground with my 3 1/2" large maroon clown, and my large engineer goby, but he doesn't pick on anybody. I have 1 cave in my tank that they all seem to want, as my coral banded shrimp took the other one all for himself. They squabble a little every now and then, but for the most part all is peaceful. Sometimes they share the cave, and at other times one or the other seems to rule it. I haven't seen any type of real aggression from him. I've had smaller fish in with him in the past and he didn't bother them either. I got mine when he was really small, and now he is about 3 1/2 inches. He is the only one I've had though, so others may be different. Best of luck with it!
