Will 2 scopas tang get along in a 125?

Along with a big fox face and blue hippo tang all in a 125 lots of live rock, also will a 3" picasso get along with a few firefish? Again all in a 125 thanks!!!

I'm not a tang expert, but I followed the rule of only 1 per species and for the most part it's worked out.

Another big factor is the order and manner in which you add them. I have 4 tangs in my 180g. Adding a 5th might have been an option at the start, as far as aggression, but I think the tangs in there now would likely kill the 5th.

I had a hard time adding the 4th which came late due to QT death. Had to add in mirrors and such to keep the others off him.

They like to "bro off" a bit, but for the most part they all get along.

Oh I should clarify the rule for species was actually genus. So only 1 Zebrasome, only 1 Acanthurus, etc

Honestly, I couldn't get One scopas to be cool in a 180 with other tangs. I'd never try two.

So no scopas with blue hippo tang? Even though the scopas is 3", the blue is around 4.5" everyone told me a sailfin tang would get along with a scopas in a 125 is that true?
