Tang aggression?

[Jaybeastin]

I have a Red Sea 350 75g display 4ft long and 91 total volume.

In the tank I have a 2” blue & yellow tang temporarily.

My LFS has a 4” white tail bristle tang for a steal of a price ! ($150)

My question is will the white tail 4” bully the yellow and blue tang 2” ? Or I should be fine ?
Should I go with a purple tang for $150 and 3”?

the purple will probs kick the **** out of the yellow or vice versa go with the white tail

Will the white tail bully my other smaller tang ? Or is it peaceful enough ?

 

[Dave1993]

no tang is peaceful but its added last so should be fine

 

[Dave1993]

you might find that the white tail gets bullied

Build a tank divider to introduce the fish and they will be fine together more than likely.

Bristletooth tangs are the most peaceful of tang, I have never owned a tang more peaceful. The white tail will be beaten up by the established yellow. I wouldn’t do 3 tangs though, you already have two with a high bio load and activity. I’d anything, Ctenochaetus tangs should be added first as they will be beaten up by the aggressive species (All of Zebrasoma, Acanthurus, Paracanthurus, Prionurus).

I personally think with things like this it's best to try it and see for yourself. I remember asking the exact same question when introducing a yellow to my tank with a purple. In the end I took the risk I had some aggression at first but put a big mirror leaning up against the glass and it worked wonders after just a day. Now they get on great, just the occasional tail slap towards each other which is funny to watch lol.
