    Theyve all been put in this tank this year. Sizes now are fairly close to when they were put in.

    I have a 8 inch purple and 6 inch sail and a month ago I added a yellow tang and a yellow eyed without a problem. I tried 6 months ago to add a powder and it didn't work well. I think if the ones you add are already captive it works better.

    I have 4 yellows, 1 Purple,1 Sailfin and 1 hippo tang in my 220. I want to get one more in there, but of a different body type. The problem was I bought one of Elliot's Yellow's and it was part of a large group, but in my tank it was bullying my purple a lot. I tried for weeks to cool it down using many trick and they worked a while, but it was a no go. I did some research and decided to add 3 more yellow tangs to help spread out the aggression and so far it has worked great. I am going on 2 weeks with them all together.

    Bud I would say leave out one of the bigger tangs.
