Yellow Tang, Purple Tang, Gem Tang. Who’s keeping these 3 together? I’d love to hear about how they do together

I kept two yellows, a purple, and a gem together without any issues. Unfortunately I had a major die off in my tank as a result of an ich outbreak and lost them all.

The gem and yellows were all adults when they came to me. The purple was added as a juvenile. Didn’t have any issues with adding any of them.

Well I currently have the Gem and the Purple, along with a Regal. They all get along fine. I also had a sailfin which I had to remove to aggression with the purple and gem. I have never had much luck keeping yellows and purples together.
