    hei guys! im thinkin of getting a blue hippo tang...
    i have a 55gal reef with mimic tang and pair of false percula at the moment... can i put the blue tang with mimic... my mimic has been in the tank for a month...
    any possibilty that it'll leave the blue tang alone???
    because i had a two spot tang in there that the mimic bullied until it died!
    sooo any experience in this???
    cheers guys!

    i wouldn't add two tangs in a 55. a 55 will only be ok for a tang during adolescence. once it grows up it will need to go back to the lfs or a bigger tank. tangs swim around 25 miles a day in the wild. so they are used to big spaces.
