two tangs in one tank?

[jwb0126]

I have a sailfin tang and several corals. I have heard conflicting stories about putting two different tangs in the same tank. Any advice?

What size tank would they be in? your 55g?

[thor32766]

yes in your 55 he would be the only tang for that tank. He will quickly outgrow it to, if feed right.

Melev has 2 tangs and a blue angel in his 55 gallon, I think he should be able to also heh?

If Marc does in fact have that combo in a 55g tank, that's his businss. I'll assume he knows it is temporary, he knows how to keep excellent water quility with large, growing, pooping fish, and he has a plan of what to do with them as they outgrow the tank.

The OP, on the other hand, is a "rookie" and so I don't think it is responsible to recommend adding any tangs to his tank.

You can generally mix Tangs in a system but to do so is dependent on the size of the tank. I agree with SDguy. Its not a good idea to add another.
