Hippo Tangs

[saltyguy]

I have never been able to keep these guys. I have a 120 gallon that was aggressive but I am changeing back to community. Right now the tank only has hermits and snails. Anyways I was reading that Hippos do well in groups. I was thinking about getting two of them. What do you think?

Groups are usally 3 or more dont know about 2.

Oh yeah the odd numbers in groups thing. Do you think 120 with other fish would be ok? Or is that not enough aquarium?

Your tank is too short for a single hippo tang let alone 3.

i had two before my tang crash and they were fine. Blue tangs were the easiest for me to keep and they grow really fast.
