Blood parrot tankmates?

Hiya,
I had a tank setup earlier that i had to close because i was moving. Now that im back im thinking of getting 2 blood parrots again. They are great to have ! I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to have a blue tang in the tang with 2 blood parrots? They will be little right now, might upgrade my tank later or sell one blood parrot. It is a 55 gallon tank. I would like to know how the blood parrots will be with the blue tang. Or should i have one or the other? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks :)
 
ooh right! i had seen them at a lot of fish stores here. so got curious. thanks!
 
Thank you! :D As mentioned, I have a 55 gallon tank. I am wondering what other tank mates to give the blood parrots? I was thinking a couple of silver dollars and a Loricariid? What do u think?
 
Some rams or dwarf cichlids would be nice. I've seem some large blood parrots so that's why I'm not saying zebras or yellow labs.
 
Thanks for the advice guys! So i visited the LFS today and this is what they had :

Powder blue cichlid
Salvini
Ice blue cichlid
five color cichlid (not sure which one this exactly is but google says its "Aulonocara" )
flowerhorn
blue dolphin
red jewel
Red Kadango

Would love some advice as to which ones i should go for as these are really the options i have right now! Just dont want a lot of fighting in my tank!
I am just worried about putting the wrong fish as the last blood parrots i had were quite aggressive!
:)
