Question Quarintine Multiple Fish

I am buying a Maculosus Angel from Live Aquaria and I was thinking of buying another fish because shipping would be the same. Is it possible to qt multiple fish? The qt is a cube, about 30 gallons. I was thinking a scopas tang, rabbit fish, or an orange shoulder tang.

Anyone have experience with orange shoulder tangs. Some say they are agressive while others say they are peacefull.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, shouldnt be a problem since you are adding them at the same time. When you start to run into problems is adding a fish into QT that has already been in there for a few weeks, then you have to start the QT period over again.

Good idea. I would NEVER quarantine a tang with a fish I cared about. In general it is best to do one fish at a time. Anything else is just too risky.
