hi everyone, i have a 4ft aquarium, i am wondering if a yellow tang(which has been in the tank for a long time~) can successfully be kept alongside a purple tang?? has anyone tried this or does anyone have any comments, thanks

[chappers]

i dont think you should have a problem but be careful, just keep an eye incase the yellow starts to nip if it does remove either one

[R1JIM]

THANKS CHAPPERS, it went in on saturday, no problems at all so far

Tell me how it goes after a week or so very intrested

well actually im doing a similar kind of thing the other day i introduced a desjardinii int my tank with a purple tang which had been established there for awhile the new fish got kinda beat up the first day but i think they will work it out since the purple seems to be getting used to him, my tank is 6 feet long tho where yours is 4 so u may run into a bit of agression
probably from the purple so you may have to take one out
let us know how it works out

TANG'S CAN NOT LIVE IN SMALL QUARTER'S FOR VERY LONG...IF I WERE YOU I WOULD BE LOOKING FOR A 125 OR 150 GALLON QUICK...READ HERE IF YOU DONT BELEAVE ME.......Wetwebmedia, Aquarium, Pond, Marine and Freshwater Fish, reef tanks, and Aquatics Information LOOK UP TANG'S IT WILL SHOCK YOU...GOOD LUCK

I have a 125 with a lot of rock work over kill - I have three tangs a Safron tang LARGE and yellow tang med and a hipo tang very small. They all seem to be doing very well together. However if I try to add a butterfly fish with any yellow or any strips it gets attacked! So now I have what I have and they seem to be doing very well .

TWO TANGS ARE NEVER A GOOD IDEA!!! One or many the only way to go.
