    I would say no, another tang in that small of a tank and you will probably see a fight between the tangs. JMO sorry

    It's not recommended. You already have 2 tangs in a 55, which most people would advise against. However, in this hobby, an upgrade is always right around the corner. Get a 6 foot tank for your next tank, and you'll have plenty of swimming room :)

    Not recommended. Just be happy those 2 tangs get along. Powder are pretty sensitive as is and probably will be super stressed with that yellow chasing it around, might even lead to your tank gettin ich or something. Get something small or some more coral instead.
