Newer addition

Not quite sure, but I believe this is a Neo. Ocellatus. I have 2 in a 10 gallon tank. I would like to add some sand, and possily a few more Tangs, but reluctant b/c I know they are aggressive. Can more of the same specie be added? Or too crowded?

Ashley you can add more females, but only keep 1 male in a 10 gal. when I bought my trio they were small (.75"-1" each) and then I got 2 males out of it. the dominant male would TERRORIZE anything that came near him (especially my hand which I do have a scar from) I ended up selling the sub dom male, then the dominant male died, so i sold the female and kept 4 fry. Now I have the 4 fry (.5-1" each) and I added some .5"-.75" neolamp. caudopunks and they get chased, but are more agile than the ocellatus, so as of now it is an OK match. If you did add something else, I would recommend brichardi complex or maybe julies.
