pacific blue tangs

[garrett_ta2000]

I was wanting to add a second pacific blue tang to my setup. I've been told they can be kept in groups when they are small. Is it safe to keep them together if one is .5"-1" bigger than the other?

the one I have is pretty small. . .Mabey 2". . .and they'll be in a 125 (6ft long)

I kept 2 yellow bellies (<2") together for about a year. One became more dominant & would chase the other into the rockwork. No physical fighting just chasing. The bully got bigger & the shy one got smaller since the bold guy got all the food. Eventually lost the smaller one.

So yes it can be done, but am not sure if it's a good plan long term (1+ year).

i have a friend with a 250g tank
with two yellow belly's
his secret is lots and lots of tangs
that seems to spread the aggression
