Hey all, I’ve got a sailfin, yellow, and purple tang in my 150 gallon atm. Do I have room for a whitetail tang? Thanks
 
what are the dimensions of the tank? Also need a picture of the rock scape. You'll want lots of line of sight breaks and caves for territory.
 
It’s about 52x27x27 or so

That length is going to be insufficient for a white tail to be added. 4 big swimmers in a less than 6' tank will cause them to get aggressive with each other.

Will other non-tang big swimmers be an issue? I was thinking about adding

Copperband butterfly
Pyramid butterfly
Maybe bellus angel or japanese swallowtail

Copperband or swallowtails should be fine, but I wouldn’t add both. The three tangs you have now will really fill out the tank as they age, so I would say you only have room for one or two more larger fish
