Regal tang & Yellow tang in the same tank??? - Aquarium Advice

Florida8 · 10-04-2004, 06:04 PM

I have been browsing sw tank pictures and notice quite a few people have them in the same tank. Years ago when we had our 55g they said no matter what size tank, NEVER mix tangs. I never did. Does this not really apply anymore?

i have a 90 [acronym:f6451c4626="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:f6451c4626]. and i have a regal and a yellow tang

they do not attack each other in any way

the problem with your tank is that it is to small for a regal tang at even half of its full grown size. so two tang are a definetly no

Thanks! We don't have the 55g any longer and are looking into a bigger tank, leaning towards an 80 or 120.

What about the Kole tang? Will they get along with the regal or yellow just as well.
