I would advise against it. Sailfin tang is enough. Granted some would say that you could add another.

Yeah....with a sailfin you're really pushing it in a 55 gal. I think the minimum tank size for a sailfin tang is supposed to be like 100 gals or something like that. The minimum for the blue hippo is 70 gals.
