Tangs/Surgeons 101

So the general rule is don't put the same color tangs together? I have a 180 g I would like a couple different tangs. A yellow, a sail fin, should I add them at the same time or different times

 

I just read through most of this post and LOVED the article posted by 2 in 10 on the first page! I was looking for evidence of what I've always known in this hobby - that our captive fish do not typically grow to their maximum size in captivity. That article was awesome as well as explaining what makes for a "happy and healthy" fish in captivity. Loved that article - thanks for posting that way a while back 2!

 

Great article! awesome read.

 

Juvenile sailfin tang


Blue hippo tang


Kole yellow eyed tang

I hope I posted these correctly........ First time posting any pics on a forum!

Man these guys are hard to get pictures of! But pretty neat to watch swim around. These 3 are in a 125 gallon tank together and they are buds - they follow each other around all the time. The sailfin is the "pack leader" and the other 2 will go wherever he goes.

 

Well that didn't work... lol Maybe 2nd times a charm?

 

Beautiful fish cub4fun.
