    ive seen many people with more than 3 tangs in a 125 and they say no problems arouse from that. so i guess it will be ok to have those two.
    ( i actually know this guy who has about 4-5 tangs cant remember exactly)

    That should be doable in a 180. If you don't add them together add the yellow first. Purples are generally more aggressive.

    Ok you can just stop now! That many tangs in a tank? Your making me jealous lol.

    If you are going to QT them you could add them at slightly different times. Give the yellow half hour or so to get the layout of the tank and find a hiding spot before adding the purple.

    lol thought I heard about a huge amount of tanks in his house. There has to be a spare tank to toss one in for a bit.

    We currently have 2 purple tangs, 2 yellow tangs and a blue tang in our vat, everyone gets along fine but they have plenty of swimming room.
