Sohal tang addition

[EsMilos]

Hello, I have a 5 month old Fowlr tank that only has 3 fish. A 4 inches powder brown tang , a 6 inches scopas tang and a 7 inches foxface. I am thinking about adding a sohal tang and I would like to know what would be the largest tang I could get. Could the tang be 12 inches or would the size gap would be to big?
To minimize aggression from both side.
Considering that the current fish are well established

Never put a sohal tang in a community tank. They're demons

Having owned a sohal - it reached 10" in no time and will be your worse nightmare. I passed it on to someone who had a 19" queen trigger , and he went in with her and still tried to steal all the food.
Same applies to clown tang which in time will terrorize the entire tank

How big is the tank?

That's a nice sized tank that would be good for most tangs in the hobby, but a sohal wouldn't be a good idea.

I feel that is small for a sohal. They get big and nasty. I know you will probably get one anyways, but i would consider is definitely have a contingency plan when the fish goes on a killing spree.
