Black Tang & Gem Tang

[cburto]

Interested to hear how many have been successful in mixing a black gang with a Gem tang in a large 210 with plenty of rock work. My black tang is roughly 4” and a zebra tang 2” would like to add a smallish Gem

Black tang (lucky you ) may be an issue due to color similarity and being larger than the intended Gem. If nothing else, place gem in an acclimation box for at least 5-7 days and see how black is responding to its presence.
I also recommend quaranting the gem up front.

Got to say that my Gem and Black TAng are buddies. They actually hang together all the time along with blueline angel.
