125g tang combo

[RWhitt907]

Is it possible to have a Hippo Tang and a Yellow Tang in the same 6' 125g tank?

Here is my stock list
2 Oscellaris Clowns
- YWG w/ pistol shrimp
- Diamond Goby
- Midas Blenny
- Lawnmower Blenny
- Bangaii Cardinal
- Pintail Fairy Wrasse
- Coral Beauty
- Hippo Tang (still in QT till the 26th and very small)

I think the best would be to stick with 2 smaller tangs, in which you can include the yellow tang. If you really want to keep a hippo, I think your tank is just at the minimum to be successful in long term. So for me yes you can keep a pair, but if going for a blue tang, stick to blue tang only :)

Sounds good. Do you know of a good yellow fish I could add instead?

You could swap out the coral beauty for a lemonpeel angelfish,which is a really stunning yellow fish. You could try to have both together, but they might be agressive towards eachother in a 125. Safe option is a yellow coris wrasse/canary wrasse :)

Are either of those wrasses good with a Pintail Wrasse? Also a Naoko Wrasse. I have always wanted one of those and plan on adding one.

Should be good having all 3 of them in your tank. Would introduce yellow coris as the last wrasse :)

You can add a male Anthias and 2 females - but they’ll require additional feedings throughout the day - so many beautiful options there

I love the anthias. Awesome fish. Ive debated it with my upgrade. Used to have a pair of lyretail in my 75g

It is pretty common for them to have uronema isnt it?
