Hey guys I have my new DT tank currently cycling. I am planning on buying two clownfish today to put into quarantine for a month while the DT is cycling. While I was at Petco I noticed a Blue Hippo Tang that appears to have Ich. I feel bad for it and since I am going to be quarantining the clownfish at the same time any reason I couldn't go ahead and buy this little guy? He is about an Inch or so long so just a little baby.

I wasn't sure if adding a tang early to my tank would have any issues adding tangs later on?

I also wasn't sure if adding 3 fish to the new tank at 1 time would be overload?

The 75 gallon tank was started with Fritz Turbo Start and will be able to cycle for a full month before these fish make it into the tank.

Thoughts?
 
Passed on the Tang right now and got a Royal Gramma with my pair of clownfish.
