Adding Tangs To Tangs

[deejeff442]

i have a 90 gallon reef and i am moving to a 150 gallon.i have a purple tang now .i used to have him a sailfin,hippo and a naso all got along till my anenome decided to get stuck in a pump and killed all but the purple.i would like to get more tangs in the bigger tank.what tangs would everyone suggest and in what order?i hope i wasnt just lucky the last time

purples can be a bit aggresive, add different species of tang and they should be okay. perhaps adding any acanthurus last. if moving you may get away with adding the purple tang with another zebrasoma at the same time.

like most marine situations though not everything is black and white!

Agreed with above. Add tangs that don't look like the purple. I keep a regal, a lieutenant, and a yellow in my 90 gallon tank with no fighting.
