I will back Steve up on this one. And With my self having a Purple and a yellow in the same tank they fought really bad. But there were times that they swam together for the whole day. SO its a hit and a miss with those too.

But on the other hand I have a Large Lavender tang with a Kole tang same family and they are gettign along in my 170 gal tank... but they still bug back and forth.

Doesn't matter how much you have been reading until you take the plunge.
You don't know as much as you think.
