I would hesitate to put 2 mandarins in there until you pod population is really big. Maybe try adding one and see how it does and if it looks like you still have lots of pods add the other one. Also Naso Tangs get huge. I have one in my 190g and he is probably 12" long and still growing. HTH

IMO they need at least a 6 foot tank and just remember that a fish that big produces a lot of waste so you will have to manage that. I currently have mine in the 190g with a Moorish Idol, Gold stripe Maroon, 2 small Helfichi firefish, a Conspic Angel and a fast growing goldflake angel. I think my tank is overloaded at this point and am going to be setting up a 300g soon to house a couple of them (still undecided as yet who is going to get evicted). You have to decide if your tank can handle a fish that big with the other fish you are planning to add. I love my Naso tang - he is a gentle giant although definately the BOSS of the tank. He eats out of my hand - or rather tries to tear the Nori out of my hand as I am putting it in the tank - unlike the conspic that just goes straight for my hand and bites it!

I know they are very common but I really like my yellow tang just for the flash of colour. Mine is a real SOB about other fish being introduced to the tank though so if you decide on that one make it the last fish you add. My all time favorite tang is the Achilles, which I do plan to get one of these days, but they are very very prone to ich and are probably the most challenging Tang as far as being more delicate and prone to disease (at least that's what my research tells me). Purple tangs are beautiful as well although it may not get along with the PBT that you already have planned. Kole tangs are nice and are great algea eaters although they are not one of my favorites as far as looks go. Tangs are beautiful fish but just about all of them need a lot of swimming room as they are all active and like to race back and forth in the tank.
