Yellow tang with blue tang?

[Brandonsev]

I have had a yellow tang for 5 days in my 100 gallon tank and wanted to get a blue tang today or tomorrow. Would the yellow tang still bully the blue tang? Or would it not be a good idea to get it?

You should be OK since your just starting to add livestock. It's only been a few days.

 

[Brandonsev]

Okay thanks!! And you are pretty sure right? Haha

From what I've been told you should be OK as long as you don't have 2 of the same and or 2 with same body shape in the same tank.

Don't know if you have done it yet; however I would think that the tank would not be big enough for the 2 tangs?

How many Fish do you have right now in your system?

 

[Brandonsev]

Right now I only have 2 ocellaris clown fish and the yellow tang.

My only problem is that two tangs added that soon together might be too much of a bioload change. If it was me I would wait a month or two and then add him. If any aggression occurs then cut the lights out for a few hours and move some of your rocks around.

Thanks for the help guys. I got a blue tang today and it is doing really well and getting along with the yellow tang.

Your tank might be big enough size anyway if they are both small. Good luck.
