Hi all. I have about a 3 year old purple tang and I recently upgraded to a 6' 125g. I would like to add 2 more tangs together, preferably a desjardini and a chocolate. Would that be ok as a trio or would the aggression be unbalanced because of the 2 zebrasomas? Since I already have the purple and really want a desjardini, the alternative i guess would be purple-desjardini-yellow as ive heard that trio is often successful. Anyone have advice or suggestions?
 
New environment helps adding the tangs together all at once or in short order. Letting one get too comfortable and introducing a smaller fish can be problematic but can be accomplished.

Purple, yellow, and desjardini work
