    ok. I originally expected this but figured i would ask. we're just waiting for the hippos to get a little bigger they were 3/4" when we got them and they are a little over 1" now. They sure do grow fast! :)

    Zebrasoma flavescens & Zebrasoma veliferum

    Both being Zebrasoma's, do you think that there will be issues housing a pair of yellow tangs started out as juveniles 1" or so with a Sailfin ? We already Have two 1" hippos. I know there is problems within the same genus sometimes. I'm slightly confused/worried at the moment
