Naso tang

[66chuck]

Currently have 2 yellow tangs in an established 125g tank. Have found a healthy Naso tang at lfs. Good idea or not to put in w/ the 2 yellows.

I'd say give it a try. They should be okay together.

Sounds good to me.

those two tangs are different shapes they will be fine

Bad idea in that size tank, IMO. In time it will look pretty uncomfortable. Naso's get HUUUUGEEEE and you will soon learn how small your tank is. Do you have other fish? Do you wish to add more fish in the future? I would say you will fill it right there, and thensome.

Think about it....look at the adult size of these fish...and they are aggressive....then picture them in your tank and ask yourself...is this ring big enough for the battle as they gorw and mature?
BAD idea.....leave the animal at the lfs. Both you and the Naso will be happier.

I doubt it. more than likely someone who has done no research will buy it and put in in an even smaller tank. I agree with the advice though
