fish questions

[cardstars]

Ive been asking around my local fish stores about tangs and angels and have been told that it is possible to keep a powder blue tang, powder brown tang, blonde naso tang, and a passer angelfish all in the same tank. I was told that if I put all the tangs in first at the same time, then add the passer later they would all get along ok. Is this true or am I talking to idiots at these stores?

cardstars-
How a big of a tank do you have?
Thanks-

75 with about 40 lbs of live rock

All those are too many for a 75.
Only two I would even consider would be the powder blue and angel. And only after the tank had been up for 6 months to a year.
Just not good stocking choices for a four foot tank.
JMO though.

Too many big fish for a 75 gal IMO.
I agree with the above statements, a powder blue and a passar would be the best combo of that list. Nasos grow very large, and PowBlue and PowBrown may have disputes.

NO WAY!!! Stick to a pygmy angel and maybe a tang of the purple variety for a tank that size. Way to small for a naso or PB. That person is going to give the LFS a bad rap.
