I really like Kole Tangs. They have a good personality. I haven't been able to keep tangs though. They just don't seem to dig my setup and die.

I keep 2 yellow tangs, a naso, and blue hippo in the same 125 gallon tank. I also had a gold-rim but he got ich and died. I added them all on the same day. They never fought other than the initial squabble over the best hang outs.
Generalizations about tangs:
1 Adding them at the same times helps with agression.
2 Mix tangs with different body shapes for best success, i.e: yellow, naso and powder blue, not yellow, purple, and scopas. There is less friction from different shaped tangs. Different genus's are less likely to fight too.
3 Add the most agressive tangs last. I believe clowns and sohals are the most agressive; powder blue, achilles, powder brown (and others from this genus) are next; then yellow, purple, and scopas are next, and nasos and hippos seem to be the least territorial.
Note: every tang is as unique as every person, while these observations are generally true, there are always individuals who didn't read my post and therefore, don't conform.

I've also been told that it helps if you make sure that your least aggressive tang is also the biggest. That's what a tang guy at Aquatek told me with regards to adding an Achilles and maybe a powder blue to my tank, where I already have a Naso and a blue hippo. He said as long as the Naso is the biggest and the meanest guy is the smallest, I shouldn't have too much trouble with them.
