Kole yellow eye tang

Planning a stock list for a 180 gallon tank. If I get a kole yellow eye tang will I be able to keep other tangs?

Yeah, but don't go overboard. Tangs need quite a bit of space to thrive.

What other tangs were you planning to keep with it?

Maybe a blue Caribbean or a blonde naso (only a total of 2 tangs in the tank)

The mix is fine but the naso could easily outgrow your tank

i've kept tangs since '06

its more about body shape when keeping tangs. they tend to flipout when another tang has a really similar body shape.
