I have this tang it's called a mimic yellow tang or Phillipine tang, are these less likely to get ick than other tangs? Iv gone through ich and cannot go through t again. I'm so worried about getting ich, should I just avoid all tangs? Or if I qt properly I shouldn't have to worry?

My set up

2 clowns
1 blue green chromis
1 copper banded butterfly
1 royal gramma
2 pajama Cardinal
1 coral beauty

If I can't add this yellow mimic tang could I add a fox face rabbit fish instead? Would these fish go together well? I have a 75 gallon tank.

IMO, I would not add the Mimic Tang to this size tank. If you insist on having a tang, you can try the Tomini or Kole Tangs which are still fairly hardy tangs in my book. Foxface could work if you get the Onespot Foxface which requires at least a 75 gallon. Everything wet should be quarantine for at least 4-8 weeks.

Could I go with the fox face, copper banded and yellow tang/kole tang. Would they get along?

The Foxface and Tang will almost certainly fight, especially in a smaller tank.

So the fox face and copper banded butterfly will get along find In a 75? What other main piece fish would go good with these two other fish

Why do you have three threads asking the same question? Makes in confusing for those trying to offer advice haha
