As for Tangs, what size is your 2 you have now? I have own both of the 2 above and seen good and bads from both. IMO, a naso would work great, possibly a hippo would work. The vampire ( Leutenant tang) can be a bully at times. Mine was that way towards a scopas and a hippo, but twice now did nothing but school with my naso. Depending on the size of your 2, I would add a naso to the group. An easy going tang and most tangs tend to let them in the pack.
