Tangs question

[Hozer]

Hey was wondering what your opinions are on adding more tangs to my 150 gallon with 40 gallon sump with fuge. The problem is I have a 6-7 inch hippo and 2-3 inch naso.. Would I be ok to add 1-2 inch tangs or will they get killed? Hippo is the king of the tank. What's the smallest size I should add?

Depends on what tangs you are looking to add.

Yellow and sailfin maybe another one. I want two More maybe three total. Not 100% oh which ones

The Hippo won't be the boss long, Once the Naso gets bigger watch out, I'd say you could ad a couple but which ones?

And add them at the same time to spread the aggression.  I've heard that putting a mirror up to the glass takes attention off the new ones as well.

Different tangs are typically okay. I added a second scopa tang, the yellow and hippi payed no attention, but the first scopa went nuts.

Adding a yellow and sailfin together should be okay.

I agree add them together and a yelloe and sailfin will be ok, different body shapes.

Thanks everyone! Think the hippo would attack small 1 inch yellow and sailfin?

 

[Jewel]

1 inch, I doubt they come that small, i'd look for something a bit bigger  like 3 inches,

He should react the same way as he would with any other new fish being added to the tank.

I believe Reef Freak is in Sarnia and he wanted to get rid of a Yellow Tang, maybe it was trade but I'd check it out.

I'm pretty sure both they yellow and sailfin are the same body Shape.. Zebramosa tangs. Adding them together is probably your best bet.. But add one and then another later might not go so good.
