They can become territorial towards eachother if one is established but if added together they should be alright. You can have 2, 3, I knew someone who had 12 in their tank and no fighting broke out. It’s all due to tank size, rockscape, when they’re added ect…
If your tank is 6’ you could have two, if it’s 7-8’ you can have 3-4. I think the guy who had 12 had a 10’ tank.

You can have several then, I’d still do different species just in case unless you some how find a Wild caught pair.

No problem!
I love siganids and would love to eventually house another one with my current Siganus magnificus.

I’d say you can yeah, probably 2 or 3 if you have no want for tangs

I would not mix more than one of the same species.

So tangs and foxfaces won’t get along or what

Tangs and foxface do fine together.
If you are going to add more than one foxface (at max 2 in a 250g IMO) then just make sure they are young and added at same time. This should avoid some big future problems. No totally eliminate, but reduce likelihood of future problems.

Tangs and foxfaces get along better than tangs and tangs.

Tangs and foxfaces get along perfectly fine I was just thinking if you had larger tangs it would limit how many siganids you could have. I’d say 3 could be a nice amount for a 250g. That is if you want to keep Acanthurids down at a lower amount than most people would have in an 8’ tank. 8-12 would be if absolutely no other fish was going in there haha.
