Tang compatibility

thinking of getting a powder blue and sailfin. Has anyone kept these two tangs together? I know there are no guarantees but would they be compatible ?
I have a 90 gallon tank with about 75lb live rock. I know they will outgrow the tank so I am planning on getting them small and then trade them back in when they start getting too big.
Thanks

In my opinion neiter are suitable for a 90 gallon tank.

To answer the real question - no, the Sailfin will constantly stress the Powder Blue unless you have a very long tank (more than 8 feet). They will hang out together like theyare buddies but this is actually an agressive move with one trying to get the other to leave the area. In a 90 there is just nowhere for the less agressive fish to go.
