Tangs are naturally territorial with one another, so use extreme caution when adding tangs together and especially when adding new tangs to tanks that have existing tangs. Many reefers use acrylic acclimation boxes during the 7 day acclimation period or longer to allow the resident fish to get used to the new fish without risk of harming the new fish. A single tang in an aquarium is ideal because of aggression, but some advanced aquarists may try keeping multiple tangs together in aquariums at least 6 feet long.
