i have several tangs in a 500g aquarium and thought i will post some behaviors that may be of benefit to others who are thinking about adding multiple tangs. bear in mind, tank is almost 12 feet long, so they do have room to swim and many places to hide, which in my view is key to maintaining equilibrium. Equilibrium in the sense that if they get in a fight, they have options to hide and swim away... giving them breathing space. This has been my experience. your's may be different, especially if you have a small tank less than 4 feet long.
format - Fish combination - agressor
Mata tang & Barienne tang.. Mata
Sohal - wants to dominate everyone
Purple tang & Dsejardini - maintain status quo
Achilles & Powder blue - occasional sparring but get along and swim together
Vlamingi & Dussemeri - Vlamingi is very peaceful but once in a while goes nuts. keep in mind Vlamingi is almost a foot vs 7 inch Dussemeri
White tail bristletooth & Barienne - do not get along at all. i think it's more of grazing rights over the rocks.
Blue tang yellow belly - get's along with everyone
Epaulette tang & white cheek tang - occasional sparring but otherwise very peaceful
Mustard tang & others - no challenges
Naso & Blonde Naso - not a good idea. very aggressive to each other.
any other experiences... pls add.
