Yellow tang highly territorial?

[megatron]

Hi all,

I just started on this hobby with a basic 24G nano cube w/o chiller.

Current fish stock includes 1 sally lightfoot crab, 1 cleaner shrimp and 2 small clown fish.

Thinking of adding a single yellow tang but some books I read recommended not adding

a yellow tang because they are highly territorial.

Are yellow tangs aggressive? is it too early to add them in now?

I do have other fish in mind to add e.g. goby and blenny.

pls advise.

many thanks!

eh your tank might be too small for tangs unless u can get a "pygmy" tang which I have yet to some across

U might wanna try pygmy angels though.

haha, that's why I said I have yet to hear before mah

Go for pygmy angels lor, very nice too like Flame Angel, African Flame-back, Brazilian Flame-back and Marshell Isle's Rock Beauty which is much deeper/brighter in colour compared to those that's in our region.
