Well I'll be...

I bought a purple tang from @civics14 a week and a half ago. Today he moved into the new tank with the large yellow tang. AND. They're getting along swimmingly. This is just 30 minutes in, but I timed this so that both were getting in the new tank at the same time. The little guy won't leave the yellow tang's side. I'm super pleased...so far

Do you think its because of the size difference?

Honestly? I think it's because I didn't expose them to each other UNTIL I put both of them in the new tank together. But they're both hiding in the same spot. And the little purple tang just keeps following the big one. It's so darn cute to watch!

That is good to hear. I felt bad for him getting beat up. I’m so glad they are getting along.

They're so cute How big will they get and will they get more aggressive as they grow?

They'll get to be about 8". I don't know about the aggression. I'm assuming it's because I put them in together in a new tank. But they're still doing well. I'm a happy camper. Cleaning up for now before I start tweaking lights.

You did the suggested method for introducing more than one tang to a system. Place them at the same time. Should you have one or more in the system and want to introduce a new one, it's recommended that you rearrange the rock work. It disorients the older tangs in the system and they spend their efforts on learning the new layout instead of picking on the new tang.
