Can I have 3- yellow and 1- blue tang in a 150g?

I have asked several LFS and they all say different. I got maybe ,yes (asking $120 for blue tangs), and no. Who do I trust?
215lbs LR with lots of caves.

You just might be able to get away with that mix. The yellows would be a definate yes on, the blue in a 150g, probably. But I wouldn't pay $120 for a Blue. WOW.

I have the three yellows now. I seen one at a LFS and it was awesome to watch.

At $120, I sure hope he was a good size.

three yellow tangs will be fine as long as you add them all at the same time. the blue will be fine too

I have found that yellow T's do well in odd numbers. 3 is a good amt
the blue should be ok, but for that price it should be outlined in gold.

With $120 for a 4 inch blue tang, I thought he was lying to me about, if I could or not. I might get a blue tang now, thanks.

if they are that much order the fish online. you can get a blue tang and 3 yellows for about 140 including shipping.
and also those fish will do fine together. and in that tank size you definatly can but you will just need to watch the bioload with the other fish youre going to add in.

SWF.com sells Blue Tangs ( Hippos ) .......$ 40- $ 80 each
Atlantic Blue Tangs................................$ 25 each
Yellow Tangs.........................................$ 25 each ( a little high IMO )
IMO, that combination will be fine, it is in my 150g
