two yellow tangs and two hippo tangs

[kouma]

Hi,
I have read that you cannot put two yellow tangs together, two hippo tangs, or any close looking tangs together for that matter. However, I have seen it done in many occasions.
My question is, is it possible to put two yellow tangs and two hippo tangs (2-3") total 4 in one 90 Gal tank?
The reason I am asking is because where I live (UAE) it is hard to come across good fish very often, and when you do they cost an arm and a leg and are usually in bad condition. I have found a yellow and a blue at a local fish store in very good condition and reasonably priced. Thanks!

i would only do one yellow tang other wise when they grow they will get very teritorial and aggresive due to tank space, jmo

The size of the tank is not big enough to that many Tangs. I'd recommend getting a larger tank first and not buy fish just because you found a good deal. The long term health of the fish should come before a bargain. Just my $0.02 worth.

NO that tank size is hardly big enough for one yellow tang not even big enough for a blue tang so especially not one of each
