Tangs that play nice

What in your personal experience are the tang species that play the nicest in a mixed reef tank? I would say any tang in the bristletooth family, Atlantic blue tangs, and white cheek tangs in my experience. It can also just depend on tank size as well as when they are introduced.

I haven't had him long, but I would have to say my convict tang! He isn't necessarily timid, but he doesn't let the behavior of more dominant fish bother him much. I would definitely get another.

Vlamingi and Blonde Naso are like puppy dogs in my tank.

Its funny as my Bristletooth is probably my most aggressive.

My yellow and tomini play nice all the time.

My convict, yellow and blue hippo all get along, for the most part.

the Convict is the most docile. Hippo is next, and yellow most aggressive of the three.
