Yellow and Sailfin Tang

[mikebern]

Any one ever had any luck with putting a yellow and sailfin tang in same tank. The tank is 265 gallons and the yt has been in for a month now and is the only fish in the tank. Would it help is the sailfin is slightly larger and/or slightly re-arrange the rocks before I add the sailfin?

Thanks.

the sailfin needs to be a lot bigger or alot smaller then yellow and rearranging the rocks is a good idea

I kept a yellow and sailfin tang together for about a year and a half in a 240. The sailfin was picked on mercilessly from day one. So bad, on the first day I had him, I named him "Lunch", since I was convinced he would end up the yellow tang's meal in no time (I also have a kole tang, but he doesn't bother anyone). The yellow tang would not let the sailfin eat (the sailfin was about 2/3 the size of the yellow tang). The sailfin finally died a few months ago. Not really sure why, but the yellow tang wouldn't let him eat in peace til the end.
