Compatability

I have been doing research but like everything else it all goes on option.. I am trying to see if I can put a Naso Tang with my sailfin tang or will they fight?? Has anyone had personal experience with these two types of tangs. Sorry if there is already a post about this Alittle hard to navigate this site for me.
Thanks
Jonathan

tangs can be difficult to mix ,, naso s generally dont mix with other tangs very well , saying that I have a naso and a hippo tang and they are fine and have been for several months ,, nasos do get rather large and can grow up to 20 inchs ,, with the sailfin i would tend to go for a powder blue or a hippo tang ,, or yellow tang
how big is your sailfin ?? and how big is the naso your planning to put in ??

The Sailfin I have is around 3" the Naso I been looking at is around the same. I seen a powder brown and would love that but I've spoke to a few people that said they were bad to get Ick and with inverts in my tank its a nightmare to do treatments.
Thanks

Naso need atleast 135 gallons but they do better in 180 gallons. If you have a large enough tank then i would say they would be fine

Good Luck With Your Tangs

I love naso tangs. I don't know much about others. (NO SW EXPERIENCE LOL)

Hope it works out though

Thanks everyone for your help I'm still unsure If its worth the $50 risk I guess thats just part of the challenge with Saltwater you can't have all the cool stuff together (wouldn't that be nice!!) Thanks Again Jonathan
