I will probably get reamed for this but my opinion is that as long as they are small to med size (2-4inches), it shouldn't be a problem. I have a 2.5in Kole in a 40g and he is healthier than some I have seen in larger aquariums.

I had a kole a while ago, and it died of some kind of disease, not really sure what type.

It's just going to be a challenge to add a tang to a tank that has established tangs. That is the one thing I would say is going to be the difficult part.

i will have to agree with steven one could try taking the other two out for a week or two in to seperate tanks then add them all back to the display tank at the same time but no promises good luck

but he says blue and yellow tangSSSSSS

so that means more than one of each.

IMO, iwouldnt get anymore tangs. i think 2 is plenty, but you seem to have more than 2.
