I have a 175-gallon tank (~225 total system volume).
I would like to add two tangs, a White Tail Bristletooth and a Yellow Tang. These tangs would both be small in size (2-3") and added at the same time. I have no other tangs currently. Would these two tangs:
1) likely get along with each other (there's no guarantee one of them won't be a punk), and
2) not terrorize the rest of the fish?
The rest of my stocking list is pretty light and composed of mostly small and peaceful fish. Currently, all of the fish in the tank get along great and there are no indications that any of them (looking at you royal gramma) are natural bullies.
2x O. Clownfish
1x Zebra-Barred Dartfish
1x Royal Gramma
1x Purple Firefish
For additional context-
I have 3x Chalk Bass in QT who would be added in about 4-6 weeks after they are done with QT/OT.
I also have 1x Melanarus Wrasse and 1x Red Velvet Fairy Wrasse on order from Marine Collectors that will likely be added within a week or two.
I also have a variety of starfish, snails, crabs, and shrimp in the tank, but I've never heard of tangs taking issue with CUC members.
Later down the road, I'd like to add a trio of anthias, a dragonet, and a YWG/shrimp pair. If possible, maybe some Chromis, but I don't want to overstock the tank.
