Tangs and even #s

[Aardvark1134]

Is it possible to keep 2 Blue tang (dory) and 2 sailfin in the same tank? Or will you end up with one of each?
I have heard odd #s only but wasn't too sure if that is true as I have always had 1 of each type.

If you could curb the aggression I don’t see why it wouldn’t work .
adding them all at the same time or not having any structures as territory ?

It would be all at once and quite a bit of live rock

I’ve never tried two sailfin, but I did have two Hepatus for a while. Ended up rehoming one due to lack of tank space .... then I upgraded the tank and wished I’d kept it. No major problems keeping two. Still have the one and it’s pushing 10 years old.

I have
2 yellows
2 purples
1 blue
in a 100gal and they do fine. I have plenty of live rock. They get one rotation on pellet food for lunch then usually 1 cube of frozen at night then every few days some nori.

Appreciate the comments hope to get a few more. Just finalizing stocking wants while my tank is being finished. I would love to have 2 sailfins...but only if I can keep both long term. I know those suckers get huge.
360 gallons sounds like a big tank until you see one of those near full size at a public tank. I would hate to have to rehome one after a few years...and there is no way I am upgrading again...this is as big of a tank as I am going lol
