I have a 180 as well and my juvenile orange shoulder gets along fine with my scopas and sailfin. He is a model citizen although does enjoy digging from time to time

Awesome fish, I have one in a 210g with a scopas and flagfin among others. Minds his own business and is non stop grazing. I added him when the tank was new, almost 9 years ago, so he will eat most food offered and has always been healthy and thick. He does love to graze in my dirty tank, so all forms of algae is greatly appreciated. I call him a dancer, as that's how I describe his swim style, a great addition.

Mine is a great fish too. It is constantly picking at algae, although it seems to focus more on film algae. Most of my fish just seem to always be waiting for me to feed them, but the orange shoulder is always busy picking at algae. It also never gets into fights with the other tangs or fish I have either.
