blue tangs vs yellow tangs

as im wanting to keep both and doin alot of research on these two, im wondering which is the one out of these is most aggressive as ive also heard that its not good to keep to of the same species 2gether in a the same tank, but their is also suggestions on keeping the same species 2gether if introduced at the same time, and them also bein juvi's, has any1 every tried 2 of the same species 2gether in the same tank before?

What do you mean by "blue tang?" There are several tangs that are blue so you need to be more specific.

 

Both those species is non aggressive unless theres another member of the surgeon fish family in there that looks similar. I dont belive adding them at the same time is a fix for this agression. I think people have added young ones at the same time and think it works great. Just wait tell they mature and start getting more territorial.

 

im on about the blue hippo tang mate

 

Hippo and yellow tangs are not con-specific (meaning they don't belong to the same species and don't have the same body shape) so you should be ok. I would add the hippo tang first, however, as yellow tangs can be aggressive towards other tankmates regardless of the species.

 

ok well was thinking of a blue hippo tang, yellow tang and maybe a different tang all young and introducing 2gether what u think

 

As long as they dont look the same they should be ok. Have you looked at a cole tang? They dont get to big and are very active like the hippo and yellow.

 

yeah mike they look alright mate but no as to which other one i will be getting yet but im wanting 3 anyways, do u think it will be ok to add three at the same time or maybe two first then then other one later down the line

 

What size tank will you be adding all of these fish to?
