You will have the most success with tangs if you get ones that have different body shapes and colors. A sailfin and power blue was a good combo but some times you just get an aggressive tang that is less tolerant to others. Depends a lot from fish to fish. You can expect some scuffles no matter which tangs when you first add them in there though. There is kinda a fine line between the fish establishing dominance or the fishy pecking order and aggression that will lead to the death of a new fish. You can try putting up a tank devider and a tang on each side for a couple weeks so they get used to each other and take out their aggression with out damage to either fish. Many times eventually they will settle down as long as there is enough room for both of them and everyone has a fat belly : ) Nothing is a garuntee though.
