What are dimensions ofthe tank. Since tangs need lots of swimming room you may be pushing it w/ three tangs in a 5' tank which I beleive a 120 is. If it's 6' , you are on the edge and certainly would not add any more fish.

It's a 6' tank and the tangs seem to be doing ok. The first tang I bought was the yellow but he was small when I intruduced my hippo. The sailfin was the last, but I first moved my yellow tang to a QT to let the sailfin take charge of the 120 gal. They all seem to get along OK most of the time. I have noticed some show off type of behavior between the yellow and the sailfin at times.
