Do you think they will get along

[tellycoleman]

Do you think a powder brown (Acanthurus japonicus) and a convict tang (Acanthurus triostegus) will peacefuly live together in my 110g.
I know they are both peacful tangs But the genus is the same.

I don't know about aggression but powder blues can be very sensitive when it comes to ich and need a lot of space too.

[Loverotties]

I would say yes,but like betamed said the blue can get ich easy.

[tellycoleman]

did I say blue I thought I said brown

yeah I did say blue
sorry I dont want a powder blue anymore
I have a brown and I want to add a convict tang

No need for negative comments. That isn't how its done here.

[BalkoTM]

just joking

[tellycoleman]

actually they are living together right now for 3 days
they have the occasional run in but i think they are trying to figure out dominance.
Ill let you know

i think if they were both new to the tank, youd have a better chance..somtimes tangs that are already have est there boundrys will pick on another tang..it could take 4 days or, it will never stop chasing him,causing him to loose his fins,tail. stress out and die from all the chasing..i had this problem already.. i had a yellow tang already in my tank and tried adding a powder blue, it was died in about 10 days cause the yellow tang beat the hell out off him and stressed him out....powder browns and blues are the most commen types of tangs for easy ick.. i know from experiance

good luck mybe it will work for you
