Blue Tang & Achilles Tang

[alwayseight]

I was planning to buy a Blue Tang & Achilles Tang. Before i buy this 2 Tangs... can i know is it possible to put this 2 Tangs together in a 4x2x2 Tank?

No problem introducing them together

It will be better that both are of the same size.

It is always better to 'let go' together so as to avoid the more 'establish' occupants from bullying them

Try not to put the Achilles in first. They are considered fierce..

If do, get a bigger or similar sized blue later..

BTW blue tangs are pretty docile.. in fact, if you get the one like mine, its "ball-less".. So introducing in first before other Tangs is ok

haha...blue tang in general are not very aggressive when juvenile.....changed when they are 4 to 5 inches...all they care is eat and sleep....eat and sleep....any shift rock.....lol. Anyway, AT is prompt to ich and white spot....blue tang also....hence, make sure one is stable before introducing the other and not let both perish due to transmission of ich or spot. All the best.

haha... somewhat already.. we have some bigger pieces of the black substrate and he just swallow and spit it out in his attempt to eat more food on the sand bed!

Hmmm... I am glad to hear both fishes can mix together.
