Kole Tang & Sailfin Compatible?

You will have to try, they probably will because the Sailfin is Zebrasoma and the Kole is Ctenochaetus. Normally if they are both lets say Acanthurus like an Achilles and a Powder Blue they will mostly fight because of the same shape of body.

They should get along fine. But you will have to get rid of your sailfin tang soon. They get WAYY too big for an 80 gallon.

I got both of them in my tank but it's a 125g. They just ignore each other. I'm thinking of adding a powder blue, but I'm still thinking about them getting along or not.

IMO yellows are among the best Community fish you can have nice size always swimming great grazers and beautiful splash of color

Would you say it's a bad idea to add a powder blue and a yellow at the same time even though I already have a kole and a sailfin tang?

3 in a 80 would be pushing it 3 in my 120 is about my limit. I want to adda yellow too maby but worried about space. I would add them in the dark if you are going to try it.

Thanks guys! I am excited to add him to my aquarium!

I've had them both and they both are really cool. At least I think so, everyone that saw the sailfin thought it looked so cool. The Kole would change from pink, to purple to burgandy...depending on it's mood i guess is what ppl told me, but it was pretty shy. Hopefully everything works out, let us know!

I have a powder blue, kole, and sailfin in my 180. The only issue is that the powder blue was the last one added and my foxface and him had to work out some "issues". Now they are cool.
IMO Yellow tangs are way too aggressive. I've tried them before and they are such bullies.
