You added a Sailfin!? In the 40!? Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought they get alot bigger than yellows and definatley need space. On judgement day, if it were up to me, I'd keep the yellow. Plus like I told you, there're not getting along cuz they're both zebrasoma genus!! get an acanthurus (spelling?)or paracanthrus(That's the hippo tang I believe) And wait until you upgrade to get any other fish!!
Please don't take this as me being preachy or somethin, it's just I'm trying to help.

I realise it wasn't the smartest thing to do, but the special circumstances left me little or no choice. The sailfin was to be flushed down the toilet. They seem to be doing fine today.hope to have them a much larger tank by this weekend. STEVE

Hey krazzydart, I've been meaning to work something out with you for a while about tangs, and I'll try not to stay too mad at you. WHY do you hate them?? I mean what were your bad expieriences? Obviously you must have been attracted to them initially to even give them a try. I'VE had bad expierences, and actually every tang I've ever gotten got ick. But I saved them bcuz I cared alot about them and they are the best fish ever IMO, and I have respect for all forms of life (exept mosquitos)LOL. i'm sure you know alot about fish, and I would appreciate if you would uncover the mystery about your hatred for this beautiful intelligent form of life. thanks for your time!

Hey fishgirl, my sailfin came from my brother. It was the last fish he had, and wanted to switch back to fresh water.GO FIGURE.

I have a yellow and a Naso in a 72 gallon. They are getting along fine. I actually would like to add a Hippo tang once I get my Q tank up and running again.

I have a 75 gallon reef tank. I currently have one clown , 3 green chromis.
I'd like to add 2 tangs a Yellow and Purple.
Is this a wise idea? Does anyone know if they are compatable?
Any thoughts.

I'd love to hear how adding a new hippo to an established Naso goes. I am thinking of doing the same thing. My hippo is in his own tank right now.
I have a Naso about 4", that was pretty shy and I didn't get to see often enough. A week ago I added a threadfin butterfly to that tank from another one. It was love at first site! The Naso sails along side by side with the butterfly all day. They eat together and are absolute best friends.

3 inch tennent, 2.5 inch powdered blue, 2 inch sailfin and 2x's 4 inch yellow tang
The tennent just follow the powered blue EVERYWHERE!!! the powdered blue just butts up to the tennet only when they crash into each other...never more then couple of secs do they "dance"
All are very happy in a 300g
