Yellow Tang Question

[corvette]

Hey I heard that Yellow Tangs are extremely aggressive and should be kept alone or in groups of 5 or more. I have a 175 gallon tank and wanted to keep a shoal of 5 large yellow tangs. Would this be possible or would it be a death wish. Thanks alot for your help.

The tank is 6 feet long. Is that long enough. Actually I was going to put a bamboo shark and a lionfish.

Hi, thanks for the info. Okay, well would it be possible to keep a group of 3 yellow tangs, or would I need to get 5 or more. Thanks!
