Was at a new LFS over the weekend and saw they had a very healthy looking purple tang. When I asked the price I was also told they had it for some time as it had been through QT and was in their display tank for some time eating a large variety of food.
I ended up grabbing it and quickly made itself comfortable in my tank eating the algae pellets and Nori I already had in the tank minutes from introduction.
Whilst I had planned on getting a purple eventually, I also have plans to grab a blue hippo tang. Thinking the Blue would have been introduced first.
Should i look at getting the hippo asap while the purple is only days into introduction or wait? Also should I get one the same size as the purple, larger/smaller and will any of this avoid any aggression?
If it helps tank is a red sea 525xl, other fish are 2 clowns, Lawnmower blenny and Yellow watchman goby so they should both have plenty of room
