Tang Question

[alexwolf]

I have 3 yellow tangs, and 1 scopas tang. One yellow tang is noticeably larger than the others. If I was going to add a purple tang, what size should I add?

I would be careful. I had a yellow, a sailfin and a purple all at once. There seem to be alot of tention between the yellow and purple tang. I had to remove the purple from the tank. He got stressed out and got ick.

all mine school together now as it is. There is no tension between the 4, im just wondering if there might be a prob with the addition of another......i added one before with no adverse effects, but i dont know about a $65 purple tang lol

yeah, yellow tangs are the most aggresive of all tangs..so ive read..i added another regal to my tank yesterday..I knew the chance of them fighting was of a 95%..they seem to get along really well..matter of luck i guess...so, its 2 regals in my tank now..looks really cool

I just had my regal (of 2 1/2 yrs) kill my smaller yellow tang - they were together about 6-8 months with no problem. All of a sudden the regal started chasing & biting his fins.
