Two Hippo Tangs

i have kept two tiny ones in a 55 for awhile.
(not saying to put them in a 55 cuz they will need to be moved fast)
but they did good for awhile, never fought or anything. stayed together all the time. untill one day i found them both sucked up in a power head :(
but im gonna put two in my 150 gallon.
 
You should be fine with 2 hippo tangs in a 150. Hippo tangs are not nearly as aggressive to new tank mates as are tangs such as yellow or powder blue. I have a 270g tank with four hippo tangs of various sizes all added at different times. I also have two yellow tangs, 1 purple tang, 1 sailfin tang, and 1 powder brown tang. Just make sure they are a little over fed the first week and they'll be fine.

I added the second blue tang, the orginal one chases new one around once in awhile but nothing serious and they do school together...
thanks for the response....
