can i have

and this one

in one tank?

 

[sooju]

How big is the tank?

 

[LFSrbad]

60 gallons.

but if i cant why is it the size of the tank or are they just not compatable

If your tank is at least 125g, then I'd say yes. Tangs will spar with each other and other fish regardless of Genus/specie.

Edit: At 60g I wouldn't add either. Both need more swimming and territorial room.

 

[LFSrbad]

what does spar mean?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Spar may also refer to:

• Sparring, or practice fighting

I agree that both are out of the question. Too small of a tank stunts growth and causes health issues.

I have a hippo tang (the blue one) and a yellow tang in a 72 gallon and frankly, I'm seriously thinking of getting rid of the hippo tang because he has gotten so BIG. I bought both of the fish very small and I was told by the lfs that they would be fine together. I would listen to the folks here and seriously reconsider.

How about a nemo?

this type of tang would probobly work (i think not for sure) i forget the name though

 

[Innovator]

That would be Zebrasoma scopas, Scopas tang and it can reach 15in. in the wild, so say about 10"-12" in aquariums...still too large, just more shy than other tangs.

 

[panza]

oh is there another tang that looks similar to that thats smaller? because i know someone who has one like that i think ina 55 gallon and its doing pretty good.

Really minimum tank size for any tang is 70 gallons. You can manage a tang in a smaller aquarium for a certain time period while they are small but it is inhumane once they start to grow even a small amount. Tangs need ample swimming room to be happy and an established tank.
