Can these fish go in the same tank?!?

Hello!!!

QUESTION #1
I have a 3" 4-line wrasse in my 72g and I recently found out that I have flatworms

and I was told to try a 6-line wrasse which I have in my 24g nano cube.....It is about an inch long....
Is there any conflict with putting these two wrasses in the same tank?!?

QUESTION#2
I have a 5" blue hippo in my 72g(I know its bad) and I was wondering if I put my other 3" blue hippo in there if they will FOR SURE fight......Any advice will be helpful...Thanks!

both will probably fight to the death, its just natures way of survival of the fittest.

BTW ... if you know 1 tang is bad in a small tank ... why would you wonder about 2 ??

The 2 wrasses would fight also?

Well the smaller tang is in a 24g soo I know I need her out of there....I have a 180 in my garage but I wasnt wanting to set it up for a few more months...So I was wondering if they would be fine together for a short time..

hmmm, i highly doubt the tangs would get along for more than 30 seconds (tops). the wrasses would probably not get along for much longer. fish with the same body shape and colors are hard to keep more than one of, even in a HUGE system.

my hippo always flared up and showed the new fish who was boss within a minute of added the new one. i dont think it would stand for another hippo in the tank, especially a smaller tank.

it's possible, but once again depends on the personality of the fish, they could be very aggressive or be very passive you just don't know.
