I have both in a 135g. They are great. I also have a tomni tang with them and they all get along with no fighting.

The big thing is make sure to feed them nori or caulerpa or both, read an article about that and they say the seaweed and macro part of a tangs diet helps alot with aggression...I find that to be true because I feed en fresh caulerpa every day and nori couple times weekly...

Kind of small tank for tangs. But I have blue, 2 yellows, clown tang, and Indian Ocean kole eye tang. Hard to get pic with all in there.

I broke the rules (I did it before I knew any better). I have a hippo and yellow tang in my 60g tank and have had no problems.
