DT is 167gallon 6 foot wide.

I'm wondering what other tangs I can safely add with these two (who now appear to be friends after a few weeks!).

Potentially other reef safe fish as well. Primarily want more color and algae eaters.

I like my Kole eye tang, he’s always picking at algae. He gets along with my blue hippo just fine.

I have a 6 foot tank (albiet 220 gal)

2x Blue Hippo Tangs
Yellow Tang
Bristletooth Tang
Naso (Unicorn) Tang
Orange Shoulder Tang

Mine all get along really well, no agression at all.

Also have

5 Chromis

The Yellow does get territorial if i add any new fish in though (it was added in last)

I have a flame fin tomini and can’t imagine him not getting along

I got mine from dr reef, and I will say this - A+ service and fish. This is clearly the healthiest and most social tomini I’ve tried

Also as a non tang, do you have a yellow coris wrasse ? Super active, friendly, doesn’t pick on corals, and constantly on the hunt for any potential pests.

Typically you want to add different genus. Tomini and powder blue would be my choice
