Yellow Tang and Naso Tang

[cozmo911]

In a 90 gallon tank can i add a yellow tang that i have had for about 6 years now to a new tank that i have had for only a couple of months that has a Naso tang in it.I am getting rid of my old tank,So all fish have to be added to the new 90,just worried about the 2 tangs
Can I ?
Thanks

tangs can and do fight , i would think you may be okay. the biggest trigger for tang agression i have seen is body shape and color, my yellow tang always is chasing my long nose butterfly but leaves my smaller blue tang alone, actually ignores him in favor of the butterfly(yellow, close in shape and size too). also alot has to depend with the mentallity of the fish. if he's chases other tankmates around now prob not a good idea.

We have a Naso in with our purple tang and have not really had any problems.....different size and body shape.

My yellow tang and naso would duel every now and then but it wasn't bad, most of the time they got along well and they were in a 90 gal

This is an unadvisable addition, besides potential agression (and Zebramosa Tangs can be quite nasty at times) 90 gallons is about the bare minnimum for an adult yellow tang and a Naso (Naso Literatus) at a potential 24" with most captive specimens reaching 18", the naso needs to be in a 180 gallon tank minnimum with some (myself included) saying that the more responsible aquarist will provide it with even a larger tank...The Naso Genus demands ample room for swimming space
