What do you guys think, Is it possible? there are so many awesome tangs,
Would be cool if i could have more then just my yellow, the tank will be a 150 long, could i put a Naso? Or an Achilles, or something along those lines in? Or if none of what i named, what different kinds would work without showing aggression?
 
how long is a 150 long? 8 feet?

you could maybe try a few more yellows, or somthing like a purple or regal tang i owuld think that naso tangs get too big.. and the achiles i think is a hard one to keep
 
its 7Lx3Wx18"H

I was thinking between the Naso Tang and the Cown Tang, But Naso's get large, and clowns are hard to keep.. Looks like I may be out of luck on this one lol
 
My last question regarding this subject then, would be, Could Purples house nicely with Yellows? Maybe 1-3 Yellows, and a Purple? let me know either way, Thanks.
 
if you're going to do a few yellow i think you'd need as many as would pretty much fill the tank (as far as tangs anyway) like 3-5 minimum.. so they dont fight too much

but the purple should be ok in with the yellow so long as the yellow isn't a complete psycho.. a 7'x3' is pretty big enough for 2 tangs
 
Salfin and yellow are closley related and my brother had a salfin and a pruple together and second the purble hit the water he was cutting up the salfin. You can try but i would have a net ready
 
My is a 180, I have all kind of tangs in there. The thing is that you have to put them in there together at the same time. I have no problem with mine. They will still fight at frist, but they will get use to each other.

Its working fine, he don't do much but eat. I got him about two years ago. He don't bother those tangs at all. I also have a grouper in there and everyone is fine.
 
If I put a new tang in there now, it won't work. All the other will gang up on it and kill it.( learned from expereince)
