Tang Question

[ThatPhillyReefer]

Would I be able to keep a Sailfin and Yellow Tang together.
This is just for some time, eventually getting rid of my sailfin. They are both around the same size.

I have done it with no problems but others have not had luck...tangs with the same body shape tend to be aggressive with each other..you will have better luck if they are introduced at the same time

my sailfin has been in my tank for 4 months and just adding a yellow today, so i’m guessing would not be a good idea.

I have 2 systems so if i can’t it would not be a problem

I have a giant sailfin in with six yellow tangs - No problem

Critical missing information is how big is your tank. They will be fine in a 320 gal but in a 65 gal they will not be. What @vetteguy53081 fail to mention is that his tank in 500+ gal.

I will only have 1 and 1, i am getting rid of my sailfin because he is getting too big and picked on in my 100g tank.
