Tang Compatibility

Hi Everybody!

I have a scopas tang, blue tang and a kole tang. Are they all safe to put into my 220 (standard dimensions)? Currently they are all in their own tanks (Scopas is in the 220 now). From what I can tell it should be fine, but I thought I would double check, I'm new to tangs...

Thanks!

If I can, I will. The blue tang is the biggest and is in a tank with rockwork, so catching him might be a challenge. The kole is just finishing it's QT today, so he will be easy to catch.

Thanks!

pull the rockwork, best not to stress the tang.

I was able to gracefully catch the blue without stress. It was in a lowboy, so two large nets placed in the tank hours before were able to just scoop it up without issue.

All three are in the 220 now without issue, thanks!

Since those tangs are all of different genus you should be fine in a tank that size. There are obviously scenarios where it just doesn’t work out, just pay attention to them for a while. I am planning on doing something very similar in my tank. Good luck!
