Naso tang compatability

Just wondering if i were to purchace two naso tangs can they both stay in the same tank.

How big is your tank?

Tangs need alot of room to swim.

Especially Naso tangs! I wouldn't put two in a tank less than 180, with minimal LR so they could turn easily.

Keeping 2 shouldn't be a problem if you get a male and female (males have streamers on their tails). But like mentioned before, you need a big tank, minimum of 6 foot in length. My naso uses every inch of my 180, very active fish, most active of all my tangs! I am looking forward to getting her into my 390g. She also likes to ride the current, swimming right up to the closed loop nozzle and letting it push her across the tank. When I initially had her in QT she would play in the current while I added water back in after a water change, I do not think she cared for the lack of flow in that tank.

Please be sure you have enough room before making the decision to buy. I think this fish could be easily stressed by lack of room!
