My tank

I get what you are saying, if I got rid of the scopas and got the tomini and then got a hippo I might be alright, still pushing it but alright.

Thats the idea, its all about what genus they are, you usually dont want 2 of the same or you can run into issues. Here is a list of the 5 that have been brought up between your tank and Blakes.

scopas - Zebrasoma scopas
yellow - Zebrasoma flaviscens
blue - Paracanthurus hepatus
tomini - Ctenochaetus tominiensis
powder brown - Acanthurus japonicus

Blake is running 3 different genus's where as you only have 1 at the moment and would be adding a different one in, providing even less space for the 2 who would be in the most competition.

Thank you for clarifying makes sense!

I knew that the third tang might be an issue but I fell in love with the tang and it was a different species and different shape so I tryed my luck. I now know that I cannot add another tang of any sorts. You may have better luck but that is entirely up to you.
