Not true.

A yellow will do fine with your hippo,in a 90.

its not that you can only have one in a 90 its more a matter of what size the grow to--and they need their swimming room

A hippo tang will eventually outgrow the 90 the tang will probably not

I personally, wouldn't add that many tangs to a 90, for the reasons stated above. A yellow tang would be the most logical, if you really want another one.

can i add any other tangs in my 75gal with an Atlantic blue tang?

most tangs will outgrow a 75 or a 90 in no time. they need lots of swimming space. but you can probably get away with a smaller species tang like a Tomini they grow to 6" max usually. And they don't call them hippo tangs for no reason. they grow really big. Yellow can grow to 10" too. Just my two cents

Isnt that the best excuse ever for an upgrade?

You'll be fine with a Yellow Tang. The Hippo will need a 6' tank eventually, they like to swim a lot.

im just worried about overstocking...will that be getting to be too much? you already have a large foxface and a hippo tang..plus several smaller fish?
