Naso and a Yellow Tang

[Clownkeeper]

Was wondering if these to similar fish could both be kept in a 75gallon tank together.
The Yellow is already in the tank and seen a naso that I would really like to add but not sure if they will fight, or if the tank is to small to put them both in..
Any info will be greatly helpfull in my decission..

The general concensus is that a 75 gallon is too small for tangs. It depends on the size of the tangs. If you start with juvenilles then you can keep them for a longer time. You should not have any lingering problems with the two tangs you are considering. You will have to normal bickering for the first couple of days. But try to get fish that differ in size if possible.

Troy, I think your tank is alittle small for the Naso even if they do get along because Naso Lituratus do grow large. A small one maybe OK for awhile, but it will outgrow it.

The Naso tang will very soon outgrow your tank which is bearly able to sustain a yellow.

Ok thanks for the information.. I guess I will not be getting that naso. I was really hoping that it would work out but you can not always have everything you want in life..
Thanks again

And you all have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS

Those two tangs will get along fine in a much larger tank. In the 75 there is just not that much space for them each to call there own without the other guy already owning it! Moreover; the Naso Tang will get very large and should be in a tank of 135 gallons, with preferably even more room than that!

Merry Christmas!
