The sailfin might not get along with the scopas. I read that tangs with similar body shapes tend to NOT get along well. I have a hippo, powder brown, and a scopas. They get along fine most of the time. The hippo and the scopas do not care for each other's presence but they chase the PBT now and then. The hippo is more aggressive towards the PBT than the scopas.
However, you might not want to add any more tang in your tank because it will get too crowded for a couple to tangs. Uh oh, I hear the sirens if the tang police.

I love my Tomini Bristletooth tang!! He's very active and great to watch. Also smaller of the Tangs. Different body type. Look into it.

i have heard that about the same shape body thing but i i beleive that if they are added right then you could get away with having some of the same. i have a 210 that has a yellow, scopas, purple, sailfin, palani, and a hippo in there. they all school together and are very cool to watch. i did have a little trouble with the purple as he was the last one added but they are great now. this is just my experiance and there are alot of people that do not recommend what i have but in some cases it will work. again i am not saying it will work for you but.......... this is just my opionion.
