    Hi All - I wanted to get opinions on peoples thoughts of adding a Kole Tang and a Tomini Tang together in one tank. I have a Kole right now for about 2 months and I want to add this beautiful Tomini Tang. Will they get along together? Your thoughts are wanted. Thanks.

    I personally wouldn't. Even though they are more peaceful tangs, they both are the same shape, which could lead into problems. thats just my opinion though.

    yeah that is a negative. they are to close in body shape and color for them to get along without fighting. but if you had a bigger tank and you introduced them at the same time then there may be a possibility.

    but in that 65 i would not do it for the well being of the fish.

    good choise of fish though, both are beautiful!;D

    If you really like the tomini better than the kole maybe your lfs would let you trade. I love kole and tomini tangs. I was thinking of getting one or the other for my new 90g.
