I have a 120 gal tank. I have a Powder Blue, a Purple tang, and an Atlantic Tang. Each one takes turns with their aggression but neither of them is the boss of the tank. Pretty much harmony. The Purple tang was the first in the tank, then the Atlantic and finally the Powder Blue. I had added a Clown tang the same time as the Powder Blue but it starved itself to death.....

I have a powder blue and he is evil. Goes after any new fish in the tank. He has killed 2 copperbands and a carpenter wrasse. Neither of which share his food source. Its such a love hate relationship because he is so nice looking but at the same time he is a bully. I have a 105 gallon tank, so I will not be adding another tang as that would not be enough room. Im already pushing it with the PB.

I have a purple, sailfin, yellow, hippo and Tomini. I took the sailfin out for two weeks and put in quarantine prior to getting my purple, which was the last one I put in. Then I put them both in at the same time. There's never a fight.
The purple was first in the tank (nistake, I know) and each time I added a new tang I had to banish the purple to the sump for a week. No problems at all since. But this video really says a lot.

We have 1 scopas tang in our 30 gallon. Great job eating algae.
Eventually when we upgrade the 125g to the 180g, we plan on getting a purple tang, atlantic blue, and a yellow eyed kole tang.

When I put my Powder blue in the purple tang and atlantic blue both went after it. I taped a mirror to the tank and they both fought with themselves for about an hour lol. after that no problems.

As algae eaters consider the kole and the chevron. Both are splendid eaters.
chevron is expensive algae control lol, hopeing my tang take s a liking to some of the green stuffs in my DT
That list is for when we upgrade to the 180. However, I would agree with what you said about the achillies...so we will be sticking with the three that Nichole mentioned.
I gotta admit...this made me laugh for quite some time :laugh:
I've seem AT's in a 70 gallon cube and 100 gallon tank doing very well with no spots at all. Some of the healthiest I've seen. He's actually in our club but likes to keep his secrets. Lol.
Actually this gentleman had both a 70 cube and the 100 gallon tank and two Achilles. Yes it was housed with many other fish. Clowns, other tangs as well
