So i just setup my 40. I plan on moving all my growing coral from my 20 into the 40. My question is I always wanted a blue hippo tang. I wanna get a juvenile plus i wanna get to ocellaris clowns. What are the chances of getting a juvi hippo and a juvi yellow tang introducing them at the same time and actually having them get along. I really plan on this tank being more coral based than fish based so if i cant mix them its no big deal.

I am just starting out in this hobby, but I've been reading a LOT on stocking, etc. I have read in many places that tangs need at least 75g because they like to swim a lot. (Makes me sad because I only have a 55g, so I am not planning on getting any) Are you planning on upgrading in the future, when they get bigger? That's what many have done...bought a blue or yellow tang, and then upgraded to a bigger tank later.

I always have plans to upgrade its just the money factor. i guess in the long run i'd like to get a 125
Me too!! Just don't know when! I have also read that tangs of different families seem to get along whereas tangs from the same family don't do as well. Good luck!
