Stock List for 75 gallon

[Salman123]

Hey guys, I just started a 75 gallon saltwater tank and currently have a

1. Yellow Mimic Tang
2. Blue (Hepatus) Tang
3. Royal Gramma
4. One damsel
5. 5 Clowns.

Thinking of adding another Tang, would that be feasible (Obviously would not be kept in the tank for many years , just as baby) thinking maybe sohal or Achilles, or clown.

@Fish Styx ?

The only appropriate tang for this size tank would be a smaller Ctenochaetus sp. such as a Tomini. You could potentially get away with a yellow in this footprint, but with caution and a plan to rehome it.
Acanthurus sp. And Paracanthurus hepatus are out of the question due to size constraints and their individual needs.

I misread it. Looking through about what the OP wants to add (Sohal, Achilles, Clown) I'm sure this is either a troll post, or someone who is going to do whatever they want to regardless. I'm out.

Oh wow, yeah those are a no go.

Sorry, was being serious. Will stick with what I have. But, I just thought that since the lfs keeps like 25 Hepatus tangs in a 40 breeder it would be fine to have another Tang and lfs told me it would be perfectly fine to have 3 tangs. Also, said that tangs grow to their tank size. (Side note, sorry for the disturbance)

No they do not grow to the tank size. Thats a myth. Your tangs will need to be rehomed soon, the tank size is not appropriate for the tangs you have.

Never listen to an LFS. They will tell you whatever you want to hear. And just cause they have tangs in small tanks doesnt mean its okay, they are selling the tangs fast. Youre putting them in their forever home. Best thing to do is rehome the tangs now and stock for the tank you have which to be honest isnt appropriate for any tang.

Adding @Fish Styx to see if he has any other input.

This about sums it up.
