More than 1 blue hippo

[gzman2]

Is it true that I could have more than 1 Blue hippo (regal) tang in my 125 tank?
If so can they be put in at different times?
Thanks I am learning alot from this site so far things have been going well.

A freind of mine tried in his 180, and eventually 1 kept attacking the other. He gave the aggressive 1 to me to add to my 240. In the long run 2 would get to big for a 125 anyways.

i think i remember saying you should add them in odd numbers, 3 would be too many for a 125.

My boyfriend has a large tank with 2 hippos. But, they were bought from the same tank at the LFS, and they were already friends with each other. In his tank, they sleep in crevices right beside each other, eat together, and even swim beside each other. Maybe this is just an exception...or are they mated?

ive tried having two in the same tank and they seemed to be best friends but one day out of the blue one of them killed the other one

I'm the one that gave the one to StacyT. I had them for over a year and moved them from a 112 to a 180 and then the began to fight. I had them with other tangs such as a Purple, Naso, and a Sailfin. They all get a long now, just there normal pushiness come out sometimes.
