Would a Small Tomini tang and small Yellow tang work together?

[Gabe aqua]

Would these two work together in a 60 gallon tank for a pint an year because I plan to upgrade to much larger tank but just for an year would they be fine together they are both about 1-2 inches long the yellow is from Biota.

Probably, but be prepared to handle any aggression.

How would you recommend to handle the aggression?

Put one of them in another tank or the sump.
They may do fine, especially since they are both young. 60 gallons can be fine temporarily but for 2 territorial species, you have to plan accordingly

So you’re telling me that a fish can stay in the sump with the skimmer, etc???

Also how long should one of them stay in the sump?

Most small fish can stay in a sump compartment for a short time... Look at the tanks they are in at the fish store. And no, I would not put it in the same chamber as a pump.

What are the dimensions of the tank?

Until you rearrange the tank to help them establish new territory. Do some research...

okay

Oh, I was thinking it was 36" long... That very well may be too small depending on how quickly they grow.

Okay yeah for the other tank which I plan on buying it will be longer rather than taller

I would not do two tangs in a small cube like that. The gallons isn’t the issue, it’s territory and swimming space.

So would just one work you think and if so which one is best?

Tomini, definitely

 

[Gabe aqua]

Tomini, definitely

Okay that is good to know because this afternoon I went to my local fish store and they had one so now I don’t have to order online which is better for me.

 

[Gabe aqua]

Tomini, definitely

Thanks you

It might be okay as a grow out tank. You may see aggression to other tank mates. It is far from ideal space.

I would probably just go with whatever I can find that is super tiny. If they are both the same size then tomini. I haven’t seen a 1 inch tomini in awhile but I suppose I also haven’t been looking.

Well I don’t know where you are located but I am here in Jacksonville and it was about 1-2 inches long just by sight and also it was written.
