Tang Compatibility question??

[lobstah]

Would a Blue Hippo and a Powder Brown get along ok in a 150 or would they fight?? Thanks

Your 150 is not big enough for 1 Tang, let alone 2

 

[lobstah]

How many gallons would I need? I see people all of the time with tangs in alot less than a 150?

and why do you think this

 

[lobstah]

Just for the record the tank is 6ft.

As with all tangs they can be aggressive toward other surgeonfish but in your 150 IMO you should be ok

There shouldn't be any problems unless one is just aggressive, because they are different shaped tangs.

Tangs are territorial regardless of the shape of the other fish

I had a powder blue and a regal tang together in a 75 then a 180 and they did just fine. The powder blue was the boss, but they got along.
