Tangs
Hi there,
I know your not supposed to put 2 of the same tangs together in 1 tank, but can a Yellow Tang and a Regal Tang go together? They are a different shape and color of each other. Any one try this?
Thanks
Tim

they should be fine as long as its a long tank. remember that tangs need alot of room. Since they are different body shapes, they shouldnt fight. Ive got each in my tank

You can have more then one like 3 or more(school) if you have a big enough tank but as you asked yes a Yellow and a Regal Tang because they are different shape,but still need to be a good size tank to have any two Tangs or more.

Too small for both. Really to small for one!

I wasn't talking to you  ...BootCamp.
36" wide is not much swimming room! Plus 2 in50 gallons is not ideal either!
