They're probably together about 90% of the time.

Hmm . . . 3 sailfins . . . what do you think? Heck, why not 5? I think I need a bigger tank. Did they fight much when introduced and did you place them in all at the same time?

Is it a reef tank? I used to have a Salifin tank which consumed my zoa's. Do you tangs bother your corals?

LOL
Xia - All 3 went in together. They reinforce the pecking order from time to time, but never fight. They're possibly from the same brood, as I got them from Exotic's last Red Sea shipment. jewel - It's a stony/clam reef. Some say tangs are hit or miss, but I believe if their not kept well-fed, they'll resort to picking slime and mucus from corals and clams.

I wonder if all tangs go in school?

Not all. In the wild some are solitary or in pairs.
I definitely wouldn't try this unless you've got a really big tank, or if you already know that the group is already schooling.

I have a purple tang, a yellow tang, a saifin tang, a scopa tang (thanks to Xia), a blue tang and a naso tang. They pretty much swim together most of the time.

How big is your tank? Did you introduce them all together?

Sorry for hijacking Carl...
180 gal. tank. They were not introduced together. |

NP, cathoai.
Different species of tang is definitely doable, jewel. Multiples of the same tang can be tricky. depending on the species. PT's are renowned for their aggression.

we have a sailfin, powder brown, purple, orange shoulder and tomini in our tank.. I think that is all the tangs (maybe I need to go down and double check ).
There is only occassional aggression and nothing "premanent".. more like "stop touching me !!!!", a short chase and then back to nuetral corners Oh, and the purple and orange shoulder are both monsters..especially the orange shoulder which was smaller than the purple when first introduced earlier this year.. now he is the "king" of the tank.

Here is a shot from a couple of weeks ago or so. You can see their relative size in relation to the other fish . Not the best picture, but it gives an idea of size.

Ok, you guys forced my hand
You can see a very fat purple tang swimming to the front to get into the shot and our powder brown hanging in the background : Here is a side shot the purple tang To keep the tang theme going, here is the "king" of our tank, an orange shouldered tangt, with our ever colorful powder brown behind him : And of course our sailfin Our tomini didn't feel like posing today for some reason. I saw him lurking in the back of the tank but he just didn't want to be part of the party today. He gets moody like that sometimes
