New tank: when can I add a Yellow Tang?

[Steven777]

My tank is 2 week old, cycled and currently has 3 small fish. Was wondering if it's a good time to add a YT? My tank is 75gal FOWLR. No sump. Skimmer: Octopus 1000.

Wait until your tank will be at-least four months old... It will be way more stable by then. Also what are the three small fish?

Oh ok... The tang should be fine, just give the tank more time to mature and stabilize.

A 75 is generally considered to be too small for just about any Tang. Yellows quite often turn into bullies so would make sure anything else you want is there first.

Couldn't agree more. The zebrasoma family tend to be an aggressive type, so best bet is add as last fish
