Convict tang to display first??

JOKER · Jun 13, 2017

Ok so I have a convict tang nearing end of QT. I originally planned to add 3 of them to the tank at the same time. 2 didn't make it very far into QT, just a week. Very sad time, but I think they had problems from the start. the remaining tang is very healthy and eats a lot. I plan to add 2 more larger tang, and 2-3 smaller tang (bristletooth) later. The tank is 84" 24", and I plan to add more fish between the time I add the convict and other tang. Will I be safe to add the convict before adding other fish?? Will I be safe adding more tang after as long as I add few at once?? Thanks

You should be fine. Convicts aren't terribly aggressive as far as tangs go.
