Achillies tang and Blue hippo tang

[04mach]

Would these two "get along" if housed together in 75 gall.The only fish in there now are a marron clown and the blue hippo.

No, tank is to small for 2 tangs. I wouldn't have either of these, just a yellow tank, alll others grow to big.

achillies tang needs a 100+ tank

I have the a similar question. I do have a larger tank, 240 gal at 8ft long which is still cycling, and already a blue hippo and 2 yellow tangs in a 120 gal that will be switched over the the 240. Is this tank large enough to house another tang, like a sailfin?

IMO Yes

I've been trying to get an achilles for a little while now. Not many places offer a guarantee on this fish though. I'd love to get one from here if they ever get it back in stock... :notsure:

Don't get the Achilles Tang unless you can run copper in the tank. Achilles are ich prone
and is impossible to keep ich-free in a reef tank. One tang and $70 later, I lost mine. My yellow tang and blue tang have survived 3 bouts of ich. I don't know if it's good luck, but they seem to do well.
