Survive, yes maybe.. do well I would have to say no. That's a pretty small tank for a tang.

Probably too small....but your best bet might be a Tomini or Kole Tang. But I'm not officially recommending it

You could get a baby Hippo tang and keep it for a year or so. But then you would have to go through the hassle of pulling him out and selling it

agree. but most tangs if you can get them small. u can keep them in that tank but i don't think u want too many other fish in there. after a year or so when they get bigger sell them or buy bigger tank?

I got a baby hippo when it was about an inch... they eat like little pigs and he's already 3 inches and it's been only 7 months!

I seen many sites recommending the minimum size of tank is 40G for a Hippo, although some say 75G... So if you don't put many more fishes in, I don't see why not a hippo... matches your Dory sig too... But be prepared to take him out if he get's too big...

Hippo tangs grow way too fast for a 50G IMO, even if you get a little one. I'd stick with the zebrasoma species. I've heard that purple tangs get a bit aggressive so they might not do so well in a "confined space" but really a larger tank might be a better idea.
