2 hippo tangs in same tank ?

[drew930]

I have about a 3" hippo tang and I want another in my tank. I was wondering if I will be okay with that 3" hippo ... Then add a 6" yellow belly hippo. They won't fight if he is that much bigger will they ?

Tank size? Dimensions?

As long as you tank is about 500 gallons you should be fine.

Well, maybe. I have a friend with a 500 and he could not do it.

Dang . Nevermind. Standard 180 . I will be moving in a couple years and I was gonna keep them in the 180 . Could I if they were the same size ?

I know usually people say a 240 at least is the recommendation for the hippo ... But if I had 2 around 3-5" would they get along ?

No they wouldn't. They will start fighting each other for territory.
