If you put them in at the same time it would probably be OK. Since it seems that one has been in the tank for a while, I don't think it is advisable. Surgeon Tangs are very territorial.

That's an expensive fish to lose to aggression...

[Gator]

that is why i am asking. the fish is the most peaceful fish i have, that is why i was wondering what everyone thought. no one wants to throw money away on or deliberitly kill anything. it does not matter that one of the fish is adult and the other juvenile

I would guess that if you added a larger fish to a tank with a small fish it might work. It sounds like you have a situation that is the opposite which would definitely not help.

thanks for the information

IMO I would not add two. You will have better luck adding odd numbers. So make it three. Now that would be a site!
