Adding Tangs
Hi Everyone,
I have a Scopas tang in my 220 gal tank. Any thoughts on the success rate of adding a yellow and purple tang? They all from the same family and have same body shape. I also have salfin and naso tang right now but never had a problem introducing them in terms of aggression problems. All fish are getting along just fine...

 this is what I have in my 2x2 frag tank. and take a look at my signature for the list of tangs in the DT. There will be aggression toward the new fish, but I find putting up mirrors really helps.

When did you add the mirror? Before or after the introduction of the new fish. I heard the purple tangs are really aggressive and should be added last. When did you add your yellow, purple and yellow eye tangs since body shapes are identical.

I have several tangs being Sohal, purple, yellow, Naso, Sailfin, Scopos, Luitenent, orange shoulder & regal. I added each at different times in the life of the tank, added all them after lights where off & new addition was fully acclimated.

purple should go in later than yellow.

IMO you should add them all together. You can get away with it only because you have a large tank.
You need to do it in the dark an leave the light out for a couple of days and the room darkened. Avoid approaching the tank during this time or you will stress the new fish Feed lots and in different parts of the tank The idea is to get the fish used to each other. Remember to feed garlic and selcon soaked food to build up the new fish and avoid ich Remember the kole needs film algae so keep a side of your tank 'dirty" Good luck
