I already have a PB Tang and a guy in my club has a Purple for sale for cheap. What are the chances of them getting along in a 6' long tank?
I have always heard as long as teh body styles are different they are ok.

What do you guys think?

How big is the pt? Once established powder blue tangs are aggressive towards newcomers espically other tangs. I doubt it will stand a chance unless its bigger and or you get lucky and it just last a few days and things settle down.

Hmmm... magic 8 ball says...Maybe. I have seen the two together in another tank with no problems. You could give it a try.

it's very iffy IMO, even if the PB is much smaller he's still very likely to just harass the purple constantly.
