Hi, I am making a wish list of the fishes I would want to have in my aqaurium. Which Tangs can live peacefully together without fighting.
I know abt the Blue Hippo and Yellow Tang can survive in the same tank.
Any other combo??? BTW its a FOWLR

One key thing to keep in mind when mixing tangs is to not have tangs with similar body types together.

Ctenochaetus strigosus= Kole Yellow Eye tang & Paracanthurus hepatus= Blue Hippo. They are from different families of tangs and should be ok together. Yes, I would introduce them together to minimize any issues that could arise. However, there are no guarantees in this hobby.

Can Blue Hippo and Kole Yellow Eye Tang live together? I have read that if you introduce 2 Tangs together at the same time, they will survive without fighting.. Is that true??

I have a blue Hippo Tang and a blue spotted (yellow eye) Kole tang, they are very good friends. The Kole eats hair algae, that's why I bought him 3 years ago, now he gets algae sheets and the hippo I have had since it was really teeny tiny, literally the size of the smiley waving...he is 4.5 inches now.
