Can a Emperor Angel....

[carp31]

survive with in my FOWLR 125 gallon that has a really laid back big 5 to 6 inch purple tang and a 3 inch Red sea Sailfin Tang. These tangs are pretty layed back and get a long great with each other. Do you think adding a emperor, that havic would break lose. I am looking at getting a adult Emporer the same size as my purple tang. Anybody have any experience with this situation or comment. Thanks.

Honestly, a 125 isn't big enough for an adult emperor, unless you can find one around 4". Even then, it will eventually outgrow that tank.

My answer would be "no". First of all, as cincyreefer said,125 is not big enough for an emperor,especially with purple and sailfin tangs. You'll need at least 180 in the long run. Second of all, since your tangs are pretty laid back, there is a high chance that they would be subject to constant aggression from emperor.
