    Aren't Yellow Tangs supposed to school?

    My next fish on the list is a Majestic Angel. I plan on a Fox Face Rabbit Fish down the line, but I want to complete my Angels first. Then a Naso Tang and Powder Blue Tang. Those are more docile than Yellows. After that I'll add a few fish I've never kept before. I could have added the Majestic...

The most aggravating thing about this is I KNEW better, but decided when I got my tank back up and...

    Aren't Yellow Tangs supposed to school?

    I know from past experience that Yellow Tangs are aggressive and territorial. But I'd read on more than one occasion (and NOT in Reader's Digest) that if you put Yellow Tangs in a tank in odd numbers, say 3 or 5, they will school. I have a 180 gallong FOWLR. For the first 4 or 5 days the tangs...
