I have a juvenile (~1.5 in) blue hippo ready to leave quarantine. It’s been happy in a 20g quarantine tank with a melanurus wrasse and black Molly.
I had initially intended to put it in my 125g mixed reef that already has a blue powder, chocolate mimic, and sailfin tang in it as well as a flame angel, maroon clown, a couple pajama cardinals and a divided blue leopard wrasse.
This tank has had its current inhabitants for about 3 months but had been running for about 5 months and is doing well after a rocky start. Apart from the clownfish, it’s always been a peaceful tank.
Now I am second guessing this decision as the fish seems so small compared to the other inhabitants. Although I did add the flame angel about a month ago (marginally bigger) and no one picked on it.
I also have a 210 FOWLR with a Queen angel, orange shoulder tang, purple tang, sohal tang, clown trigger, niger trigger, black and white heniochus,
I also have a 54g LPS tank with a tomini tang, a small blizzard clown, lawnmower blenny, and a couple firefish.
Thoughts? I’d consider moving the powder blue to my 210g if I need to. It’s gotten a long with those fish in the past.
