Pairing tangs?

[islander84]

I currently have a medium sized pacific blue tang in a 144 gal tank. I was considering adding a few more and introduce all at the same time.... all medium sized fish a powder brown, a sailfin, and a tenneti....these 3 will be in a 40 gal breeder during qt/treatment before introducing to the 144. Does anyone see a problem with these 3 + bluetang being kept together in that order? Thanks

I don't know anything about the tenneti, but you should not have problems with the others. I would not exceed 3 tangs in a tank that size, personal preference though.

Your best bet is to add them at the same time as planned. Expect some aggression until one, probably the sailfin establishes dominance. I have 6 tangs in my 480. I might even consider adding the sailfin last.
