I have 1 hippo "Blue Tang" in my reef with two other fish (a six-line wrasse and a clown). Can I add one or two more hippo blue tangs? The one in the tank has been there for two months and is still quite small. Will they bond? Or kill each other?

I don't think a 150g tank is big enough for multiple tangs, particularly as they grow. They're likely to fight.

150 should hold more than one tang, I just don't know if two of the exact same ones would fight. It wouldn't hold nothing like clown, sohal, or naso, those kind of tangs.

Oops, sorry, that's a good point. You might be able to have two tangs of separate species. I was just addressing the issue of two tangs of the same species.
