Default Re: Tangs in a 90?

Quote:
Certainly no one with any experience would keep 3 tangs in a three foot tank.
No one with any experince would mix similar species of tangs
No one with any experience would choose an Achilles tang. A tang which is almost impossible to keep by the most experienced tang keepers with ideal setups.
I love this quote.

I was in Hawwii a few months back, and after reading this many times I was expecting to do some dives and maybe see one or 2 tangs in a large area.
Well to my surprise I saw hundreds of yellow tangs running in schools, along with the same for other types of tangs.
By the same token I saw many pairs or groups of three. And all types of species were living together side by side on the reef.
How about they had teritories established and they each respected the others. When you add a new fish to your tank the fighting and posturing is just your fish re establishing teritories.

So before you saw "No one with any experince would mix similar species of tangs" maybe you should go inform the fish they should not be able to co exist.
