I think they'll been fine. Perfect specimen for a Tang community tank IMO. It's usually the ventralis males that target each other rather than other species. Lovely fish to keep, nice choice!

Thanks guys yes since they were juvies I didn't know the sexes but I'm now pretty sure there are at least 3 and seem to chase each other as they get bigger may have to move the excess males on

Looking good. A 1 male 3 female ratio is good from my experience, so 2 male 6 female when scaled up and so on. Ventralis take a while to reach a nice colour but its worth it in the end.
