i already commented, i believe you are overstocked, if you look at your other posts, you'll see some reccommendations

 

[sven]

you say get rid of the tangs for 4 smaller fish but what fish do you reccomend?
and wont 4 more fish for the price of one overstock it even more?

 

[fshhub]

like i said, go with smaller fish like ff, they will only get about 2 inches or a bit more, but the bio system you are building mainly depends on the fishes needs and output, a 7 inch fish is a much higher load than 2- 2 inch fish, people generally base their stocking on inches(at fish maturity, ex. a maroon clown is a 6 inch fish, not 2 or whatever it is now)) per gallon, and 1 inch per 5 is standard, but with a good bio fitler(enough lr and a dsb) in an established, easilty maintainable system can often push this rule, sometimes even achieving as muchas 1 nch per 2 gallons, but this most certainly is pushing it as far as possible

[sven]

so overall you are advicing me to get rid of both tangs for smaller fish?
is there no chance of keeping the tangs or at least one of them???
THANKS

uh, yeah, but if you are going to keep one, i would suggest the yellow, if your tank is 4 ft(or more) long, he would be happiest, but i know what you mean, you do want one, so if you aare to, keep the yellow, besides he is the heartiest of the 2
