In my opinion, tangs are more aggressive than angels... But tangs are beautiful... My 2 Yellow Tangs and 1 Purple Tang got bored of each other after a week... They still chase each other but don't use their spikes anymore...

I've kept 3 tangs together , yes they fight but the damage was not severe , 1 eventually died not due to the fights but because it chose the wrong opponent ....... A carpet anemone

do they fight more with their own kind or with all kinds of fishes?

They fight when they are in territorial mode. Usually any fish that are same shape ,size and colour as they are.

But the fights are not as bad as it sounds, if all the fish are about the same size and in good health , they would most likely survive.

A tang added to an established tank with residents will not easily go territorial and attack.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I guess that's about right.
