I have around 10 Multis with decent sized fry and about 8 Cyps that are about 3 inches long in a 90 gallon tank. I have 2 small (about inch and a half) T. Duboisi in my eclipse 12 gallon. I know they need a bigger tank and I was wondering with them all being Tangs if they could go in the 90 together, I have heard mixed oppinions and was wondering what everyone here thought. I know that I also need to get some more Duboisi for a good school. Is it a bad idea, as I said I have a 90 gallon heavily decorated tank. Thanks in advance.

Cyps would be no competition against the duboisi. Adult multis may be able to get away from the duboisi, but feeding would be a little troublesome since duboisi can get bloat rather easily.

I would try to get a 55 gallon for the cyps, or trade them in for more duboisi, or vice versa with the duiboisi.

The situtation would probably turn out to be duiboisi, duboisi and multis, or cyps and multis

So basically it's a no go to mix them all? The only reason I have the Duboisi was because a friend of mine bought them at his lfs and they told him that they could go in his community tank and they ended up killing a bunch of his fish (obviously). So, being a good friend with a spare tank I took them off his hands. I want to move them into a bigger tank but the 90 is all I have right now. I can't get anymore either because the lfs is out of them and won't be getting any soon because they get them from a local breeder. Would chaos break out of I put the 2 Duboisi in there? Like I said, the tank is a 90. The cyps and multis both have fry. If this won't work I will find a new home for them. Thanks

Chances are there will be chaos, tank divider possibly?? but that would just be temporary solution, so really it seems like more headache then anything
