    So time has come to get my fish list for my upcoming 370. I wanted to add a school of tangs to my list but can't decide on all I want so I figured I get a school of koles! Problem is I forgot how much of lil a holes they can be especially to each other. Is it possible in such a large setting and at a number of 5? Also does the different varieties of koles matter how you mix them? Say I get 2 yellow eyes, 3 blue eyes and 1 white tail.

    What are the dimensions? I don't think I would try it but it may turn out ok.

    Agree with Lew- don't think I would try it. Tangs can be quite aggressive toward other tangs with similar body shape and/or color. I would go with 3 or 4 of different species, and if you want a school, get something smaller that may actually school together in that size tank. JMO :)

    I was asking because Ive seen quite a few 370 tanks that have up to 5 tangs and have quite a bit more livestock. Im keeping my blue eyes for sure but I guess I'll try and figure out a list of tangs that I want. 4 more to pick!
