Adding 2 tangs to a new setup

[payamsh]

Hi
I currently have a 270 gallon system that’s cycling and should be ready for fish in a few weeks. In QT I have a gem tang and in a separate QT a Black tang. Both about 4 inches. I would love to be able to add both these guys into my DT. To decrease the likelihood of aggression (I know it’s likely) is it better to add them in at the same time, or should I introduce the less agressive Black tang first, followed by the gem tang in a few days? Any input is much appreciated.

I would add them both at the same time. This way neither has established a territory yet.

I'd ask @4FordFamily , he's the zen master of tangs!

I’d add together, but I’d add with other tangs. Just two in a giant tank could be very, very wrong. No other fish to distract them.

I’d suggest adding a few less expensive tangs concurrently.
