One day at a time!

I saw a Sailfin Tang yesterday and was very interested in getting it, but wasn't sure if it would be ok because I have a yellow tang already established in the tank. I know some of our club members tank several Tangs, but they all have larger tanks than mine. What is the census? should I or shouldn't I??? I have a 75aga. Thanks for the input.

I have a Sailfin in my 65g..
I had a Yellow tag when I got the Sailfin and he beat the tar out of the Yellow.

Tangs really want to have room to run around so your 48" 75 will be a better home than my 36" 65g

I'm moving to a 125 RR when I get my stand finished.

This is my first post here.. I'm in Colorado right now but will be moving to Kennewick in July.

Well... I did it. I got the sailfin....I did the plastic container with a ton of holes in it to get the 2 used to each other. After a couple bumps from the yellow to the Sailfin the Yellow seemed to lose interest. I let the Sailfin out last night. So far so good. We'll see....
