tangs

[angelofdeath132]

is it possible to keep a yellow tang and a hippo tang together in the same tank?

Everyone else will probably tell you no, but I did and it worked fine in my 75. I added the yellow last on advice of my LFS.

I haven't had a problem with mixing tangs. Usually if they are juvenile and you add them they will get along!!

Those two tangs go well together the problem with mixing tangs comes with mixing zebrasoma species.

those 2 species should get along fine, but I would not ad them both tho a 100 gallon. I would want a bigger tank for them

i have a -scopas tang, a hippo tang and a ring tailed surgeon and they all get along fine in my 180g

I did and my hippo and yellow got along great for nearly two years...then something wiped them both out

Add them at the same time or the hippo first and yellow last. Also need at least a 6 foot long tank. Anything less will not work.

Mine get along great in a 75g . They seem to hang together and hardly ever seperate . They were both added at the same time . I am in process of building a 180g and they will be moved together in the 180 .....
