Three tangs

How does everyone do with tangs on this site. Here is a pic of my three tangs. The yellow tang is 11 yrs old while the yellow eyed kole tang is 8 yrs old and the scopas is about 4 yrs old. I have found out that different body shapes and colors kind of limits aggression but not always. Anyone else have any tang issues or info.

When I had my 125gal FO last year, I had a yellow tang, a hawaiian tang, a naso, and a scopas tang all together and they got along just fine...a little aggression at first, but they became close.
 
I hadnt had any problems with my ABT and Kole fighting.But the ABT sure didnt like it when I added a foxface to the tank.
 
Generally, the more different the fish look, the better they will get along. In my tank, I have a yellow tang, a kole tang and a sailfin tang.
 
I have a Purple Tang, Atlantic Blue (adult) and a Black Spot. I've had them almost a year and they all get along very well.

:heartpump I love Tangs! :heartpump
 
Tangs are deffinately my number one fish. Body shape does play the biggest role with tangs esspecially zebrasoma. I have found if you have enough hiding spots and room for them they seem to not be as aggressive. They will protect there little peice of the reef that is very important to their survival so if they feel threatened by a new comer being a tang, rabbit or foxface (someone that is going to compete for the same food) that is usually where the most aggression comes from.
