Will my fish get along with these other fish?

So I'm getting a 180 gallon tank from someone and they have some fish in it and I wanted to put the fish in my 75 gallon into it.

But...

Will a yellow eyed tang get along with a yellow tang. (The yellow tang is a little bit bigger)?

And will 2 blue hippos get along (mine and theirs seems to be around the same size)?

And just making sure, the tank I'm getting has 2 mated Ocellaris Clownfish (full size) and I have one Wyoming clownfish (smaller size). Can I put all three in the 180 gallon or would they fight? There also is an anemone thats already in the 180 gal tank the 2 clownfish are hosting and a huge clam that I have that my Wyoming clownfish is hosting.

I also have a 55 gallon tank where I have a picasso trigger. Would a spotted mandarin get along with him?
 
You have tangs in a 75g? Blue hippos, especially, get very large. That is not good.
Do you know what full size is for a picasso trigger? Go look it up. It shouldn't be in a 55g. And it may choose to chomp on the mandarin, anyway.
 
Tangs generally get along but only tangs from different genusus. I'm not sure of the genus of the yellow eyed tang.

Different clownfish species will not get along they will fight to the death and the ocellaris clown pair will def win.

Not sure about the trigger and mandarin
 
The Hippos have a good chance of getting along if they are similar size. Kole and a Yellow tang should be fine.

If you have lots of rock work the fish should all be able to find their own areas. I have 4 different pairs of percs in my tank and they mix and match who they pair up with all the time. I have a trio of reg percs and recently (last 2 months) 2 started spawning, and they still let the 3rd one hang out with them in a large elegance coral.

my yellow tang killed my kole tang. good luck.

i would absolutely not put any kind of dragonet in a tank with a trigger, especially one that small (small for each of those fish individually, never mind together)
 
Agree, In a 75 the probability of murdering is pretty high. and agree with that picasso trigger does not belong in a 55.

You do understand I'm getting the 180 tank and transferring the fish in my 75 into the 180 right? And that's why I'm getting the 180 is because I have blue hippo whose pretty small. And I know the trigger is going to need a bigger which I plan in the near future. But right now he's about 2 " in a 55 gal, 4 foot long tank for the time being.
