I have a 135 gallon, with a 6" YT, 6.5" Scopas, 4" RS Sailfin, and 7" Naso. Shortly i will be adding another Blond Naso (Male), and a 5 - 7" Powder Blue.

All my tangs get along, after the first couple hours of the YT establishing dominance.

I have a Yellow and a Purple tang in a 72 Gal tank. They are both around 4 inches and get along great. They are always swimming together and race side by side through the tank. I see no signs of nipping on either of their fins. But like everything in this hobby, everyone has separate experiences.

I have a Purple Tang and a Regal Tang in my 90. I've had my PT for almost 2 years and I added my RT about 6 months ago. I got me regal when he was the size of a loonie so the PT didn't bother with him at all.

We have a 120g with a 8" sailfin, 5" yellow tang, 7" regal tang, 3" lavender tang. They all get along fairly well and they were all introduced at pretty much the same time. We tried to add a 5" scopas tang about 6 months later and our yellow tang attacked him relentlessly. Luckily within a couple of hours we were able to remove the scopas tang and give him to our friend who has a 90g. I think if you are going to have two tangs who look alike and are roughly the same size you need to introduce them at the same time. I think this helps them have a better chance of getting along. In my experience, if the fish are similar looking, and if one of the fish is already established in the tank, it is likely that she/he will attack the new one. I would recommend getting a regal or lavender tang to go with your yellow tang, because of their different shape I believe it will be easier for them to get along.
