What tang can i keep w/ Powder Brown?

I have a powder brown tang in a 75 gallon, I want a mimic tang. Can these 2 be kept together. I also have a lemon peel, maroon clown, and fiji damsel. Any suggestions?

You are going to find that most people, including me, will tell you that a 75g tank is not big enough for two tangs, whatever the types.

ok. thanks rayjay. that's what i was looking for. I didn't want to put the fish in an uncomfortable living environment. i will look for something else to add.

I agree. I think one tang in a 75 is about all you can get in there, comfortably and stress free that is.

I think as stated the Powder Brown is already too much tank for the 75. I watch the "Blue Planet" during the reef segment, and if the brown is anything like the powder blue, they are very territorial. I watched a bunch of powder blues attacking an invading school of convict tangs. I'll bet it the brown is already established, anything you put in there is going to get beat up.
