Reintroducing a Hippo Tang

[Reefn00b]

Guys,

My hippo tang of 10 years passed away and I would like to get another one. He was rather large, maybe the size of my hand. My question is what approximate size should i look for knowing that i have a yellow tang and a sohal tang that are roughly the same size.

Historically they have all gotten along well, but as most sohals do mine is turning more territorial.

For him to be less aggressive should i go for a smaller hippo or larger... I decided to go with a hippo again rather than something new for the sohal to notice.

Thoughts?

I'd probably go with a tiny hippo if I were to try it and hope the Sohal doesn't notice but I'd expect the Sohal be less than welcoming. How big of a tank?

220 gallons. Historically everyone has gotten along fine. I figured maybe if the sohal saw the same fish maybe he would leave him alone, versus introducing something new like a powder brown or blue

I was thinking along the lines of smaller as well.. Mostly because it would be easier for him to hide and get away if needed and possibly feel less threatened. He seems to care less about anything smaller than him
