tangs

I have 4 yellow tanks in my tank now, would it be safe to put a powder blue tang the same tank?

 

[air_putih]

how big is your tank ??

 

[hollmank]

125 gallons is this big enough?

I would say it is unwise. Very unwise. Your 4 yellows will not be suitable in there long term, and it is a fine balance. A powder blue tang is particularly sensitive, and the risk of losing all of your fish to disease is very high, IMO. I would not do this, it is playing with fire, IMO. What other fish do you have, and how old is your tank?:

Tangs need:
*Lot's of live rock to graze on
*Space to swim
*Stable and good water quality
In addition, they are territorial. The tiny "scalpel" on their tails are used to defend themselves and their territory.

I agree unwise.

Again, when considering all of the above issues, this too is not really feasible.

every opinion is dilomatic and I agree... In My opinion ..unwise.
