Compatible tangs?

[cagirly2006]

Hello: We have a purple, scopas and a tomini tang. Is there any other that would be compatible? Scopas and Tomini are biggest at approx 2.5"-3" the purple is approx 2".

Kole tangs are should get along, but may be hard to get with Hawaii closed.

Any tang is gonna be a dice roll but you’ll have better luck steering clear of the zebrasoma family with a scopas & purple already. If you have the space an acanthurus (hippo, achilles, powder blue) would be a different one. They get big so don’t put them in a 50g . When you introduce the newbie, employ the mirror trick & feed plenty. One thing I stopped when adding tangs is feeding seaweed on a clip as it led to aggression & something they fight over. (As ref. I have a yellow, gem, purple, achilles, hippo, sailfin swimming together for 2+ years with minor issues)

Thanks for all the information! Helps alot. I'm so so scared to go near the blue again. We have had an ich outbreak and I can't go through it again so I'm so worried to even add another let alone a blue one.
