310g Tang Stock List and order to add them

[SCH14]

Ive spoke with my LFS and they said these lists look great, here is my list for my 310 gallon

My question is what order should I add them? I have a good idea but want opinions. Will likely add in groups but can do singles here and there if needed.

List of possibilities- Yellow Tang, Blue Hippo, White Tail Bristletoosh

Main List- Purple Tang, Gem Tang, Achilles Tang, Unicorn Tang, Naso Tang, Desjardini Sailfin Tang

That's a lot of big tangs. I'd cut out either the naso or unicorn, 5 tangs (including two ones over 12") should be about right. You could probably do more if they were smaller species, but you've got some big ones in there. Also, look out for aggression among the Zebrasoma species.

Any Naso, including the unicorn, would be the most easy going. The unicorn will get too big, however.
The purple might be the most aggressive, actually, but fish are individuals.

The achilles is a holy grail type fish, so if I really wanted one of those, I would build my plan around it.

What are the dimensions of this tank?

Are these fish QT’ed already?

I see. They most likely can’t afford to do it right so you will need to watch them closely and start picking up QT knowledge if you haven’t done so.

They are quarantined for 3 weeks in copper or however long I want them to hold them, freshwater dipped, prazi and other medicines. Ive been buying tangs form them for a while, have never had an issue. They do it right everytime and are very qualified.

In my experience I wouldn’t keep an achilles tang with a lot of other tangs. They are fairly easy to keep if you keep stress to a minimum. It can be done but it’s not the way to go if you want the best chance of success.
