Tang Tally: How many Tangs can I keep in my tank?

[Boaz]

Looking for advice on stocking from the experts. It's about time to rehome my growing tang gang to their new 240 gallon home (96x24x24).

(2) Juvenile Purple 2" (I moved them from quarantine to the 240G a few weeks ago)

PBT 5" - he's currently alone, however got along fine with a yellow that unfortunately passed unexpectedly in early May. He's only shown aggression to a copper band which I removed immediately.

These are living together no issues:
Achilles 4"
Tomini 3"
Foxface 5"
Flame Angel 4"
(2) Davinci Clowns (Paired)

Assorted small fish may or may not move, (6 line, dotty back, filefish, etc). Most will go into tank where the PBT is now.

Best to move all at the same time or order of aggression and what order?

Thanks in advance.

Purple may be an issue with introduction for the others up front and should calm down thereafter

I would do all in at a go, given its a new environment, every fish is busy adapting, no one is taking attendance of who's who.

As long as were on the subject, would a convict and a bristle tooth get along in a 120 gallon?

Anecdotally, will be OK. I've got 7 tangs in my 120G, there's the occasional bickering, but nothing more than horseplay. I would attribute that to the intensity of the fishes resulting to the sheer proximity to each other, thus minimises an individual of being constantly harassed. Similarly to my Anthias, they will only chase each other during feeding, but pretty much grouping together other wise.

Thanks for the info

Is this a good QT protocol for 2-3" tangs?

My Current QT Process

UPDATE, 10/9/22: For those looking for quarantine information, our current process is kept updated on the first page of this thread (post any questions at the end of the thread). https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/current-quarantine-protocol.825055/ Thanks, Jay Hemdal I am frequently...

As many know, I have 25 tangs and I stocked them in order of temperament and the plan has worked. Do they squabble occasionally- Of course they do but they never strike each other or cause injury. I have no secret to having so many other than maintaining good water quality and best diet possible.
Those who have seen my tank in person say the tank is well balanced with fish and the behavior is unbelievable with over 40 fish in the tank.

What's your actual tang list?
Also, what would you say is commonly the most aggressive species?
