    Hey all, just curious as there is no correct answer but looking to add another tang to my 120 gallon tank. It measures 48X24X24. Currently have a tomini tang in the tank, would really like to add a purple tang, just curious on thoughts, want to make sure I do what is right for the tank and the guys and gals in it. Thanks!

    I really like tomini tangs. Being that the bristletooth is in there first, you might be OK getting a purple tang.

    I am sure you have heard that purple tangs are mean usually.

    my purple is very aggressive even to this day. Seriously he gets the urge to pick on the other two tangs every now and again.

    I have read that they can be agressive, just trying to find that last fish to add to the tank, thought about a butterfly fish but have heard they are hard to care for.
