Ditto. Even I have several housed together, but I never brag about, or even mentioned about it in most of my posts. Just incase someone never had any sees posts saying its "doable" misinterpret it as "of course, no problem".
Skeeter, if you have tried before and failed, there is probably something you did not do right. The environment and the maturity of the tank plays a big roll. If you haven't figured out why it did not work before, maybe you should not try again. Give yourself a couple more months/years, you will figure it out as experiences accumulates.
Putting all three into the tank at the same time is not the one stop answer for keeping them together. Whether you put them in one by one, or put them in at the same time, showing ick tells me that there may be more problems to your tank than just simple aggression among the tangs. I have many tangs with many tanks before. I can assure you that I have done both method. Ick has not shown once when the other tank variable is healthy. The present tank I have the first is a purple, than blue, than kole, than sailfin, than powder blue. Never once did ick appear. Aggression has shown only from purple when sailfin introduced. Is this luck? No. Tang can be as hardy as damsels if you have the right condition and knows what they need to keep them happy. You have to observe and build up your experiences by learning from other's failure.
Simply thinking introducing them all at same time will suceed, you are not on the right track. As you will probably find that out too.
