ckyuv Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 It looks like both the yellow eye kole tang as well as the yellow tang do ok in 90 gallon tanks. I'm wondering if you could put them both in the same tank? I have a 90 (4 feet long) and I'm not sure if they would try to fight or anything?

nvrEnuf Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I have the same intention for my 90. I plan on QT'ing them together, and that the yellow be signifigantly smaller than the kole. If that goes well, I may add either a flame or coral beauty and that'll be it on large fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 From my experience initially you "shouldn't" have much problem if you quarantine and introduce them together. However I also would expect you to "probably" have problems in 4, 5 or 6 years when they become mature. Individual personality of course will trump my experiences so you may end up with two fish that will live peacefully for the next 30 - 40 years or you may have to rehome one in a few months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckyuv Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 So since I've had the yellow tang for over a year it's prob not a good idea, it sounds like they Gota be introduced at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Should be fine. I had no problem with that combo in my 50 gallon for a few months, which was then transferred to a 90. If they're juveniles I think you can introduce them separately but same time is definitely preferable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvrEnuf Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 you culd also try "re-introducing" or "re-QT'ing" the yellow. if the yellow is out of the tank for a week or two his teritorialism should reset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I had a few Kole and a few yellow at various times in my 90 and at the start of my 230. I found that the Kole tangs are pretty much ignored by the yellow, so I think you'll be fine as long as you don't get a Kole smaller than the yellow. Kole is still one of my favorite tangs, and is a great algae eater to keep your glass clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
