I've got a Yellow and Chevron together. I also have a Desjardini as well. Although, they are in a 180G. I had the yellow first for over 5 years in my 60G. Then when I upgraded to a 180G, decided to add a chevron and then desjardini last. It's probably the worst order to add them but it's been working fine for me over the last 2 years. Also, the yellow's the smallest, then chevron and desjardini.
In a 90G I think you may be okay if they're introduced together and you have lots of swimming room. The chevron grows quick, by the way, compared to my yellow.

Yea i think you should be fine as everybody said chevron first then yellow. The chevron will grow faster then the yellow. Just like suasponte said.

I think that is what i am going to do... I like the Chevron. GSMguy recommended me to put a yellow tang in my tank. I also like the yellows. So thought i would see if i would be able to put both of them in my 90
What other fish do you recommend i put in with them.
As of now i have
Rods onyx (getting another when they are ready)
gold sleeper head goby ( going to GSMguy tho as soon as i can catch him)
going to add
Chevron tang
Yellow tang
and other suggestions?

Nothing else you have two herbivores who will be creating a lot of destritus.
Chevron is a bristletooth tang specializing in feeding of filamentous algae.
Whereas the yellow is a "regular" herbivore and feeds off of "string" algae.
I see only one issue and that being the tank size. 90 is too small for two tangs period ,but you are adding a smaller bristletooth so it can even out. IMO the yellow is too big for a 90 but again that is an opinion. As for growth, I don't think anyone truly knows which grows faster only experience would tell. ( suasponte) Naturally a yellow is more aggresive so if you do decide to add both go chevron first. Good Luck!
