Kole and Tomini in same tank

[Tyler Bullock]

Hello all, I have a 90 going through a 4 month cycle and I have a yellow eye Kole Tang and a Tomini Tang in qt as we speak. Assuming I will run into agression from the two. Should I put them in at the same time? Should I get a 3rd Tang to try to get the agression spread instead of one to one? I love both of these fish and wants what's best for them. Or sadly if the agression is bad return one for a different fish? They are in separate qts at this time. They were in the same bucket when putting them in qt and they were flaring and showing off in the bucket. I would love to hear what you all think.

Thanks!

Put them in at the same time. Both are not known to be aggressive like a yellow tang

Honestly I don't think it's going to work long term as both are from the same family and a 90 gallon isn't really suited to more than 1 Tang long term. If you are prepared to trap and remove one then I guess it wouldn't hurt to try. That and not the best idea adding Tangs first as other more peaceful fish will be at serious risk of being bulled by an established tang.
