So I've been wanting a tang now for a while and couldn't decide between powder blue and a blue hippo. So I decided whichever I came upon first I would buy. Yesterday at Critter Hut in Naragansett I found a tiny blue hippo (oxymoron?)



Anything that goes near the anemone gets attacked by the two clowns. The tang wouldn't go away from the anemone and I was so worried there would be fighting. Go figure just like Finding Nemo the three are inseparable. Anyone ever have this happen? A third member to your clown pair?

Yes two Ocellaris and one blue hippo. When I get home I'll post a photo
 
That's awesome! I wasn't even going for the finding Nemo thing if I found a powder blue first that would have been the tang. I know my 72 is a little undersized for him but I'm hoping to buy a house in the next couple years and do a big build.

I couldn't be happier to see them getting along. I have a separate tank for fish who do not play nice. And I will try to rehome them. My biggest concern is that all inhabitants live peacefully.

I would love to see a picture !
 
Like you my tank is only 70ltrs and i also know it's to small but I'm getting a 400ltr by November
 
It's not small will take a while to out grow that tank nice pairs that's to funny but little weird it happened twice
 
When I first got my blue hippo he was also hanging out with the clowns but after a few months was swimming on his own
