hippo tang

[stevieb05]

im taking down my smaller tank and focusing on my big one. i already have a yellow tang in the big one and was wanting to put my hippo from the small one in the big tank but hes a lil smaller than the yellow do you think this is a problem or should i put him in at nite the tank is a 144 gallon any help would be gladly appreciated

coming from 2 different species (zebrasoma and paracanthurus) i think that they will be fine. how long is the 144 ?? i would be more worried about that than the two fighting.

its 5ft long half circle

I have a yellow and a baby Hippo in my 180 and their fine together.

Agreed with lReef lKeeper.. these are two different body types. My Hippo and Yellow just ignore each other

thanks guys, i put him in last night, he was acting very stressed out wen first introduced, but the lights went off a couple hours later then today when the lights came on hes swimming around with the big guys and eating good except off the clip i think he still a lil scared to get in the middle with all the big boys while there eating, but he has a lot of lr and hes been eating flake so he'll be good till he gets more brave
