tangs together
hi
wondering what will happen if I put a yellow tang in with my lipstick tang...( naso tang, I believe) anyway........will it be war...and ICK eventually, or will they learn to get along.
I've heard 'don't mix tangs' but I see them 'mixed' all the time.
You tell me, I dunno.
thanks.
L.

You can mix them in large tanks... what size tank do you have? I'm thinking you will want a tank at least 120-150g before you mix them...

this one is 100, but with a lot of swim space and rocks placed so they can hide/swim through etc etc etc. Probably not a good idea. thanks

I have a yellow tang and a blue tang both in my 60 gallon. They are best buds, but they have been together since they were pretty tiny.
If you move the rock around a little so you even the palying field,,,, both of them will feel they are in new territory... i would think it should be fine.

I took my Niger trigger to the fish store...locally....they finally hired someone who is trying to learn about sw fish. We talked a long time and she had a lot of questions, some of which I could answer...and she was real nice too. Then, in exchange for my trigger, I got a Clown Tang. So far, ever one is fine and getting along, he's hiding out a bit, but he is beautiful when he does come out....and coming out more and more.....happy happy happy!!!!! OH, not moving, not happy not happy not happy.

doing well, the tank is more peaceful than when the trigger was in there, it's very peaceful. Thanks, devilboy...I think.
