Interesting... I had a Yellow tang when I first got into the hobby a few years ago. Wasn't that agrressive when I first got him, but after he was in the tank for a while, I could not introduce a new fish without him beating the you know what out of it. I finally had to give him away. I've been afraid of getting a yellow tang ever since, but maybe I just got one that had a bad personality. Thanks Floirda8 for your information. My gut is telling me to avoid the PBT and go with the Kole. I better listen to that, because everytime I've ignored what my gut has told me with respect to this hobby, I've always had trouble. Thanks agian for the info.

The [acronym:a289403d4c="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:a289403d4c] store told me that housing multiple tangs in one tank is a matter of luck and size of the tank and size of the tang. I was lucky enough to buy all of my tangs at a pretty small size and all were in the same tank at the [acronym:a289403d4c="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:a289403d4c]. I have a Purple, 2 blues, a yellow, and a PBT. My [acronym:a289403d4c="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:a289403d4c] store even said that this group of tangs dont usually go together well and i was lucky to get the whole group of tangs from him. It seems if they are well fed they are less agressive.
